You pay a sales charge when you buy Class A shares. There are several ways to reduce this charge. See the section “How Sales Charges Are Calculated.”
|
|
•
|
You pay lower annual expenses than Class C shares, giving you the potential for higher returns per share. However, where front-end sales charges are applicable, returns are earned on a smaller amount of your investment.
|
|
•
|
You pay higher expenses than Class N and Class Y shares.
|

You do not pay a sales charge if your total investment reaches $1 million or more, but you may pay a charge on redemptions if you redeem these shares within 18 months of purchase.

The Gateway Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of the Gateway Predecessor Fund in a Reorganization on February 15, 2008. If you held shares of the Gateway Predecessor Fund in your existing account as of the date of the Reorganization, you are eligible to purchase additional Class A shares without a sales charge or a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) through your existing account, provided you have held fund shares in your existing account since that date.
Due to operational limitations at your financial intermediary, a sales charge or CDSC may be assessed unless you inform the financial intermediary at the time you make any additional purchase that you were a shareholder of the Gateway Predecessor Fund and are eligible to purchase Class A shares |
|
without a sales charge or CDSC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, former shareholders of the Gateway Predecessor Fund may not be eligible to purchase shares at NAV through a financial intermediary if the nature of your relationship with, and/or the services you receive from, the financial intermediary changes. Please consult your financial representative for further details.

|
You do not pay a sales charge when you buy Class C shares. All of your money goes to work for you right away.
|
|
•
|
You pay higher annual expenses than Class A, Class N and Class Y shares.
|
|
•
|
You may pay a sales charge on redemptions if you sell your Class C shares within one year of purchase.
|
|
•
|
Investors will not be permitted to purchase $1 million or more of Class C shares as a single investment per account. There may be certain exceptions to this restriction for omnibus and other nominee accounts. Investors may want to consider the lower operating expense of Class A shares in such instances. You may pay a charge on redemptions if you redeem Class A shares within 18 months of purchase.
|
|
•
|
Except as noted below, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after eight years. Please see the section “Exchanging or Converting Shares” for details regarding a conversion of shares. Generally, to be eligible to have your Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares, the Fund or the financial intermediary through which you purchased your shares will need to have records verifying that your Class C shares have been held for eight years. Due to operational limitations at your financial intermediary, your ability to have your Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares may be limited. Group retirement plans of certain financial intermediaries who hold Class C shares with a Fund in an omnibus account do not track participant level aging of shares and therefore these shares will not be eligible for an automatic conversion. Certain intermediaries may convert your Class C shares to Class A shares in accordance with a conversion schedule that may differ from the one described above. Please consult your financial representative for more information.

You have a minimum initial investment of $1,000,000. There are several ways to waive this minimum. See the section “Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares.”

Letter of Intent — By signing a Letter of Intent, you may purchase Class A shares of any Natixis Fund over a 13-month period but pay sales charges as if you had purchased all shares at once. This program can save you money if you plan to invest $50,000 or more within 13 months.
|
|
•
|
Cumulative Purchase Discount — You may be entitled to a reduced sales charge if your “total investment” reaches a breakpoint for a reduced sales charge. The total investment is determined by adding the amount of your current purchase in a Fund, including the applicable sales charge, to the current public offering price of all series and classes of shares of the Natixis Funds held by you in one or more accounts. If your total investment exceeds a sales charge breakpoint in the table above, the lower sales charge applies to the entire amount of your current purchase in a Fund.
|
|
•
|
Combining Accounts — This allows you to combine shares of multiple Natixis Funds and classes for purposes of calculating your sales charge
|
|
Individual Accounts: You may elect to combine your purchase(s) and your total investment, as defined above, with the purchases and total investment of your spouse, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, in-laws (of those previously mentioned), individual retirement accounts, sole proprietorships, single trust estates and any other individuals acceptable to the Distributor.
|
|
Certain Retirement Plan Accounts: The Distributor may, at its discretion, combine the purchase(s) and total investment of all qualified participants in the same retirement plan for purposes of determining the availability of a reduced sales charge. In most instances, individual accounts may not be linked with certain retirement plan accounts for the purposes of calculating sales charges. In most instances, individual accounts may not be linked with certain retirement plan accounts for the purposes of calculating sales charges. Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (“SIMPLE IRA”) contributions will automatically be linked with those of other participants in the same SIMPLE IRA Plan (Class A shares only) using the Natixis Funds prototype document. Effective May 8, 2026, all share classes will be linked for the purpose of calculating sales charges. SIMPLE IRA accounts may not be linked with any other Natixis Fund account for rights of accumulation. Please refer to the SAI for more detailed information on combining accounts.

Restriction
|
Situation
|
|
Each Fund may suspend the right of redemption:
|
|
|
Each Fund reserves the right to suspend account services or refuse transaction requests:
|
|
|
Each Fund may pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a distribution in-kind of readily marketable securities in lieu of cash or may take up to 7 days to pay a redemption request in order to raise capital:
|
|
|
Each Fund may withhold redemption proceeds for 10 days from the purchase date:
|
|
|
•
|
A share’s NAV is determined at the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the days the NYSE is open for trading. This is normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. A Fund’s shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading. In addition, a Fund’s shares will not be priced on the holidays listed in the SAI. See the section “Net Asset Value” in the SAI for more details.
|
|
•
|
The price you pay for purchasing, redeeming or exchanging a share will be based upon the NAV next calculated (plus or minus applicable sales charges as described earlier in the Fund Summary) after your order is received by the transfer agent, SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, Inc., (rather than when the order arrives at the P.O. box) “in good order” (meaning that the order is complete and contains all necessary information).1
|
|
•
|
Requests received by the Funds after the NYSE closes will be processed based upon the NAV determined at the close of regular trading on the next day that the NYSE is open. If the transfer agent receives the order in good order prior to the NYSE market close (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time), the shareholder will receive that day’s NAV. Under limited circumstances, the Distributor may enter into contractual agreements pursuant to which orders received by your investment dealer before a Fund determines its NAV and transmitted to the transfer agent prior to market open on the next business day are processed at the NAV determined on the day the order was received by your investment dealer. Please contact your investment dealer to determine whether it has entered into such a contractual agreement. If your investment dealer has not entered into such a contractual agreement, your order will be processed at the NAV next determined after your investment dealer submits the order to a Fund.
|
|
•
|
If a Fund invests in foreign securities, it may have NAV changes on days when you cannot buy or sell its shares.
|
| 1 | Please see the section “How to Purchase Shares,” which provides additional information regarding who can receive a purchase order. |

Equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and ETFs), exchange traded notes, rights, and warrants — listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by a third-party pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the
|
|
applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities discussed below) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by a third-party pricing service. If there is no sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by a third-party pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Valuations based on information from foreign markets may be subject to the Funds’ fair value policies described below. If a right is not traded on any exchange, its value is based on the market value of the underlying security, less the cost to subscribe to the underlying security (e.g., to exercise the right), adjusted for the subscription ratio. If a warrant is not traded on any exchange, a price is obtained from a broker-dealer.
|
|
•
|
Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities — evaluated bids furnished to a Fund by a third-party pricing service using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities, if available, or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.

|
Senior Loans — bid prices supplied by a third-party pricing service, if available, or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.
|
|
•
|
Bilateral Swaps — bilateral credit default swaps are valued based on mid prices (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by a third-party pricing service. Bilateral interest rate swaps and bilateral standardized commodity and equity index total return swaps are valued based on prices supplied by a third-party pricing service. If prices from a third-party pricing service are not available, prices from a broker-dealer may be used.
|
|
•
|
Centrally Cleared Swaps — settlement prices of the clearing house on which the contracts were traded or prices obtained from broker-dealers.
|
|
•
|
Options — domestic exchange-traded index and single name equity options contracts (including options on ETFs) are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations as determined by the Options Price Reporting Authority. Foreign exchange-traded single name equity options contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price. Options contracts on foreign indices are priced at the most recent settlement price. Options on futures contracts are valued using the current settlement price on the exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. Other exchange-traded options are valued at the average of the closing bid and ask quotations on the exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. OTC currency options and swaptions are valued at mid prices (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by a third-party pricing service, if available. Other OTC options contracts (including currency options and swaptions not priced through a third-party pricing service) are valued based on prices obtained from broker-dealers. Valuations based on information from foreign markets may be subject to the Funds’ fair value policies as described below.

Harris Associates - Large Cap Value sleeve - Under normal circumstances, the Large Cap Value sleeve of the Fund managed by Harris Associates L.P. (“Harris Associates”) will invest primarily in the common stocks of larger-capitalization companies that Harris Associates believes are trading at a substantial discount to the company’s “intrinsic value.” By “intrinsic value,” Harris Associates means its estimate of the price a knowledgeable buyer would pay to acquire the entire business. Harris Associates believes that investing in securities priced significantly below what Harris Associates believes is a company’s intrinsic value presents the best opportunity to achieve the Fund’s investment objectives. Harris Associates usually sells a security when the price approaches its estimated value and monitors each holding and adjusts its price targets as warranted to reflect changes in the issuer’s fundamentals. In determining whether an issuer is a U.S. or foreign issuer for the Harris Associates – Large Cap Value sleeve, Harris Associates considers various factors, including its country of domicile, the primary stock exchange on which it trades, the location from which the majority of its revenue comes, and its reporting currency.

Loomis Sayles - All Cap Growth sleeve - Under normal circumstances, the All Cap Growth sleeve of the Fund, managed by Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”), will invest primarily in equity securities, including common stocks and depositary receipts. This sleeve may invest in companies of any size. The sleeve normally invests across a wide range of sectors and industries. The sleeve’s portfolio manager employs a growth style of equity management that emphasizes companies with sustainable competitive advantages versus others, long-term structural growth drivers that will lead to above-average future cash flow growth, attractive cash flow returns on invested capital, and management teams focused on creating long-term value for shareholders. The sleeve’s portfolio manager aims to invest in companies when they trade at a significant discount to the estimate of intrinsic value (i.e. companies with share prices trading significantly below what the portfolio manager believes the share price should be). The sleeve will consider selling a portfolio investment when the portfolio manager believes an unfavorable structural change occurs within a given business or the markets in which it operates, a critical underlying investment assumption is flawed, when a more attractive reward-to-risk opportunity becomes available, when the portfolio manager believes the current price fully reflects intrinsic value, or for other investment reasons which the portfolio manager deems appropriate. Although certain equity securities purchased by the Loomis Sayles – All Cap Growth sleeve of the Fund may be issued by domestic companies incorporated outside of the United States, Loomis Sayles uses a propriety definition to determine whether a security is classified as U.S. or non-U.S. In determining the location of an issuer for these purposes, or where the issuer’s principal activities are based, Loomis Sayles will consider a variety of factors (collectively designed to assess whether an issuer is economically tied to a particular country or region), including but not limited to: the markets in which the issuer’s securities are primarily traded; the location of the issuer’s headquarters, principal offices, or operations; the country where the issuer is organized; the percentage of the issuer’s revenues or profits derived from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in the relevant country; and information provided by third-party data analytics service providers. No single factor will necessarily be determinative, nor must all factors be present for Loomis Sayles to assess an issuer’s location. Loomis Sayles may assign different weights to these factors based on different geographic policies, countries, or products.

You pay higher annual expenses than Class N and Class Y shares.

You pay higher annual expenses than Class A, Class N, Class Y and Admin Class shares.
|
|
•
|
You may pay a sales charge on redemptions if you sell your Class C shares within one year of purchase.
|
|
•
|
Investors will not be permitted to purchase $1 million or more of Class C shares as a single investment per account. There may be certain exceptions to this restriction for omnibus and other nominee accounts. Investors may want to consider the lower operating expense of Class A shares in such instances. You may pay a charge on redemptions if you redeem Class A shares within 18 months of purchase.
|
|
•
|
Except as noted below, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after eight years. Please see the section “Exchanging or Converting Shares” for details regarding a conversion of shares. Generally, to be eligible to have your Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares, the Fund or the financial intermediary through which you purchased your shares will need to have records verifying that your Class C shares have been held for eight years. Due to operational limitations at your financial intermediary, your ability to have your Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares may be limited. Group retirement plans of certain financial intermediaries who hold Class C shares with a Fund in an omnibus account do not track participant level aging of shares and therefore these shares will not be eligible for an automatic conversion. Certain intermediaries may convert your Class C shares to Class A shares in accordance with a conversion schedule that may differ from the one described above. Please consult your financial representative for more information.

Letter of Intent — By signing a Letter of Intent, you may purchase Class A shares of any Natixis Fund over a 13-month period but pay sales charges as if you had purchased all shares at once. This program can save you money if you plan to invest $50,000 or more (or $100,000 or more for Loomis Sayles High Income Fund, Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund, Loomis Sayles Strategic Alpha Fund or Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund) within 13 months.
|
|
•
|
Cumulative Purchase Discount — You may be entitled to a reduced sales charge if your “total investment” reaches a breakpoint for a reduced sales charge. The total investment is determined by adding the amount of your current purchase in a Fund, including the applicable sales charge, to the current public offering price of all series and classes of shares of the Natixis Funds held by you in one or more accounts. If your total investment exceeds a sales charge breakpoint in the table above, the lower sales charge applies to the entire amount of your current purchase in a Fund.
|
|
•
|
Combining Accounts — This allows you to combine shares of multiple Natixis Funds and classes for purposes of calculating your sales charge.
|
|
Individual Accounts: You may elect to combine your purchase(s) and your total investment, as defined above, with the purchases and total investment of your spouse, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, in-laws (of those previously mentioned), individual retirement accounts, sole proprietorships, single trust estates and any other individuals acceptable to the Distributor.
|
|
Certain Retirement Plan Accounts: The Distributor may, at its discretion, combine the purchase(s) and total investment of all qualified participants in the same retirement plan for purposes of determining the availability of a reduced sales charge.
|
|
In most instances, individual accounts may not be linked with certain retirement plan accounts for the purposes of calculating sales charges. Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (“SIMPLE IRA”) contributions will automatically be linked with those of other participants in the same SIMPLE IRA Plan (Class A shares only) using the Natixis Funds prototype document. Effective May 8, 2026, all share classes will be linked for the purpose of calculating sales charges. SIMPLE IRA accounts may not be linked with any other Natixis Fund account for rights of accumulation. Please refer to the SAI for more detailed information on combining accounts.

Clients of a financial intermediary that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor and has been approved by the Distributor to offer Fund shares to self-directed investment brokerage accounts that may or may not charge a transaction fee;

Restriction
|
Situation
|
|
Each Fund may suspend the right of redemption:
|
|
|
Each Fund reserves the right to suspend account services or refuse transaction requests:
|
|
|
Each Fund may pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a distribution in-kind of readily marketable securities in lieu of cash or may take up to 7 days to pay a redemption request in order to raise capital:
|
|
|
Each Fund may withhold redemption proceeds for 10 days from the purchase date:
|
|
|
•
|
A share’s NAV is determined at the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the days the NYSE is open for trading. This is normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. A Fund’s shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading. In addition, a Fund’s shares will not be priced on the holidays listed in the SAI. See the section “Net Asset Value” in the SAI for more details.
|
|
•
|
The price you pay for purchasing, redeeming or exchanging a share will be based upon the NAV next calculated (plus or minus applicable sales charges as
|
|
described earlier in the Fund Summary) after your order is received by the transfer agent, SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, Inc., (rather than when the order arrives at the P.O. box) “in good order” (meaning that the order is complete and contains all necessary information).1
|
|
•
|
Requests received by the Funds after the NYSE closes will be processed based upon the NAV determined at the close of regular trading on the next day that the NYSE is open. If the transfer agent receives the order in good order prior to the NYSE market close (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time), the shareholder will receive that day’s NAV. Under limited circumstances, the Distributor may enter into contractual agreements pursuant to which orders received by your investment dealer before a Fund determines its NAV and transmitted to the transfer agent prior to market open on the next business day are processed at the NAV determined on the day the order was received by your investment dealer. Please contact your investment dealer to determine whether it has entered into such a contractual agreement. If your investment dealer has not entered into such a contractual agreement, your order will be processed at the NAV next determined after your investment dealer submits the order to a Fund.
|
|
•
|
If a Fund invests in foreign securities, it may have NAV changes on days when you cannot buy or sell its shares.
|

Equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)), exchange traded notes, rights, and warrants — listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by a third-party pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities discussed below) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by a third-party pricing service. If there is no sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by a third-party pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Valuations based on information from foreign markets may be subject to the Funds’ fair value policies described below. If a right is not traded on any exchange, its value is based on the market value of the underlying security, less the cost to subscribe to the underlying security (e.g., to exercise the right), adjusted for the subscription ratio. If a warrant is not traded on any exchange, a price is obtained from a broker-dealer.
|
|
•
|
Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities — evaluated bids furnished to a Fund by a third-party pricing service using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities, if available, or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.
|
|
•
|
Senior Loans — bid prices supplied by a third-party pricing service, if available, or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.
|
|
•
|
Bilateral Swaps — bilateral credit default swaps are valued based on mid prices (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by a third-party pricing service. Bilateral interest rate swaps and bilateral standardized commodity and equity index total return swaps are valued based on prices supplied by a third-party pricing service. If prices from a third-party pricing service are not available, prices from a broker-dealer may be used.
|
|
•
|
Centrally Cleared Swaps — settlement prices of the clearing house on which the contracts were traded or prices obtained from broker-dealers.
|
|
•
|
Options — domestic exchange-traded index and single name equity options contracts (including options on ETFs) are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations as determined by the Options Price Reporting Authority. Foreign exchange-traded single name equity options contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price. Options contracts on foreign indices are priced at the most recent settlement price. Options on futures contracts are valued using the current settlement price on the exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. Other exchange-traded options are valued at the average of the closing bid and ask quotations on the exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. OTC currency options and swaptions are valued at mid prices (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by a third-party pricing service, if available. Other OTC options contracts (including currency options and swaptions not priced through a third-party pricing service) are valued based on prices obtained from broker-dealers. Valuations based on information from foreign markets may be subject to the Funds’ fair value policies as described below.

Per share net investment income has been calculated using the average shares outstanding during the period.
|
|
(b)
|
Had certain expenses not been waived/reimbursed during the period, total returns would have been lower.
|
|
(c)
|
Generally accepted accounting principles require certain adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund for financial statement purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the adjusted net asset value per share may differ from the live total return reported on the Fund’s website or any corresponding Shareholder Report. Without these adjustments, total return would have been 8.58%.
|
|
(d)
|
The investment adviser agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse a portion of the Fund’s expenses during the period. Without this waiver/reimbursement, expenses would have been higher.
|
|
(e)
|
Effective July 1, 2024, the expense limit decreased from 0.75% to 0.73%.
|
|
(f)
|
The variation in the Fund’s turnover rate from 2021 to 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in trading volume and shareholder flows.

Investment-Grade Fixed-Income Securities. To be considered investment-grade quality, at least one of the three major rating agencies (Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”), Moody’s or S&P) must have rated the security in one of its respective top four rating categories at the time a Fund acquires the security or, if the security is unrated, the Fund’s Adviser or Subadviser must have determined it to be of comparable quality.
|
|
Below Investment-Grade Fixed-Income Securities. Below investment-grade fixed-income securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) are rated below investment-grade quality. To be considered below investment-grade quality, none of the three major rating agencies (Fitch, Moody’s and S&P) must have rated the security in one of its respective top four rating categories at the time a Fund acquires the security or, if the security is unrated, the Fund’s Adviser or Subadviser must have determined it to be of comparable quality.
|
|
U.S. Treasury Bills – Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury that are issued in maturities of one year or less. No interest is paid on Treasury bills; instead, they are issued at a discount and repaid at full face value when they mature. They are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
|
|
U.S. Treasury Notes and Bonds – Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury issued in maturities that vary between one and thirty years, with interest normally payable every six (6) months. These obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
|
|
U.S. Treasury Floating Rate Notes – Treasury Floating Rate Notes are relatively new instruments authorized by amendments to the U.S. Treasury’s marketable securities auction rules. As with other floating rate securities, at certain intervals the interest payment on a Treasury Floating Rate Note will increase when the applicable index increases, and will decrease when the applicable index decreases. Treasury Floating Rate Notes are a relatively new type of financial instrument. As such, there is no significant trading history of these securities, and there can be no assurance that a liquid market in these securities will develop. Lack of a liquid market may impose the risk of higher transaction costs and the possibility that a Fund may be forced to liquidate positions when it would not be advantageous to do so.
|
|
Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) – Fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on TIPS is fixed at issuance, but over the life of the bond this interest may be paid on an increasing or decreasing principal value that has been adjusted for inflation. Although repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed, the market value of TIPS is not guaranteed, and will fluctuate.
|
|
“Ginnie Maes” – Debt securities issued by a mortgage banker or other mortgagee that represent an interest in a pool of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or the Rural Housing Service or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration. The GNMA guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest when such payments are due, whether or not these amounts are collected by the issuer of these certificates on the underlying mortgages. It is generally understood that a guarantee by GNMA is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Mortgages included in single-family or multi-family residential mortgage pools backing an issue of Ginnie Maes have a maximum maturity of 30 years. Scheduled payments of principal and interest are made to the registered holders of Ginnie Maes (such as the Funds) each month. Unscheduled prepayments may be made by homeowners, or as a result of a default. Prepayments are passed through to the registered holder (such as the Funds, which reinvest any prepayments) of Ginnie Maes along with regular monthly payments of principal and interest.
|
|
“Fannie Maes” – The FNMA is a government-sponsored corporation owned entirely by private stockholders that purchases residential mortgages from a list of approved seller/servicers, including state and federally chartered savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial banks, credit unions and mortgage banks. Fannie Maes are pass-through securities issued by FNMA that are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA, but these obligations are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
|
|
“Freddie Macs” – The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) is a corporate instrumentality of the U.S. government. Freddie Macs are participation certificates issued by FHLMC that represent an interest in residential mortgages from FHLMC’s National Portfolio. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but these obligations are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

| 1 | Amounts include payments deferred by Trustees for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, with respect to the Trusts. The total amount of deferred compensation accrued for Natixis Funds Trust I as of December 31, 2025 for the Trustees is as follows: English $134,962, Goglia $186,892, Meehan $246,446, Palermo $449,565, Sirri $225,830, Sykes $18,672 and Walker $981,886. The total amount of deferred compensation accrued for Natixis Funds Trust II as of December 31, 2025 for the Trustees is as follows: English $239,054, Goglia $230,023, Meehan $298,998, Palermo $343,310, Sirri $319,510, Sykes $10,016 and Walker $1,030,325. The total amount of deferred compensation accrued for Gateway Trust as of December 31, 2025 for the Trustees is as follows: English $107,114, Goglia $130,118, Meehan $176,622, Palermo $276,883, Sirri $152,739, Sykes $10,856 and Walker $605,655. |
| 2 | Total Compensation represents amounts paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 to a Trustee for serving on the board of eight (8) trusts with a total of thirty-six (36) funds as of December 31, 2025. |
| A. | Gateway’s portfolio management team has decided to override the ISS Governance vote recommendation for a Client(s) based on its own determination that the Client(s) would best be served with a vote contrary to the ISS Governance recommendation based on Gateway’s higher degree of analysis of ISS Governance’s vote recommendation. Such decision(s) will be documented by Gateway (and communicated to ISS Governance if a decision(s) led to a vote override). Gateway’s CIO will determine, on an annual basis, as to which classification level an ISS Governance vote recommendation should be analyzed further by Gateway (which may include highly contested matters regarding mergers and acquisitions, dissolutions, conversions, consolidations, or contested elections of directors); or |
| B. | Gateway’s portfolio management team has decided to override ISS Governance’s vote recommendation for a Client(s) based on its own determination that the Client(s) would best be served with a vote contrary to ISS Governance’s recommendation based on Gateway’s consideration of certain additional information. Specifically, in the event Gateway becomes aware that an issuer has filed additional soliciting material with the SEC regarding ISS Governance’s vote recommendation and if such additional information would reasonably be expected to affect Gateway’s voting determination, Gateway will consider this supplemental information if such additional material was submitted to Gateway via ISS no later than five (5) calendar days prior to the vote submission deadline. Only additional information from issuers that apply to the classification levels determined by the CIO would be considered information reasonably expected to affect Gateway’s voting determination. Information received within the five (5) calendar days before the cutoff time frame, but before the vote submission deadline, may be considered, but only on a best-efforts basis. Decision(s) as to whether this additional information affects whether or not Gateway follows ISS Governance’s vote recommendation will be documented by Gateway (and communicated to ISS Governance if the analysis led to a vote override); or |
| C. | ISS Governance does not give a vote recommendation, in which case Gateway will independently determine how a particular issue should be voted. In these instances, Gateway, through its portfolio management team, will document the reason(s) used in determining a vote and communicate Gateway’s voting instruction to ISS Governance. Gateway will generally seek to vote in accordance with ISS Governance’s guidelines; or if voting on any particular security compromises Gateway’s ability to later transact in such security (e.g. shareblocking practices) or if, in Gateway’s judgment, the expected cost associated with the vote exceeds the expected benefits of the vote (e.g. non-U.S. security restrictions), then Gateway will abstain from voting on a particular security; or |
| D. | If voting would impose costs on the Client, such as opportunity costs for the Client resulting from restricting the use of securities for lending in order to preserve the right to vote, then Gateway will not make efforts to vote these securities on behalf of the Client. |
|
Governance Structure and Balance of Power
|
Mirova’s voting decisions generally will favor the appointment of directors allowing for: (1) a balance in the composition of the board among the company’s different strategic stakeholders; (2) effective supervision of decisions taken in the long-term interests of the company and the respect for the rights of all stakeholders; and (3) better integration of CSR issues in strategic considerations.
|
|
Distribution of Value
|
Mirova generally will support votes concerning aspects of the compensation of executives that are: (1) tied to the long-term strategy of the company; (2) correlated with long-term economic, but also environmental and social objectives (with pertinent and stable measurement indicators); (3) consistent with the creation of real value and its distribution among the different stakeholders; and (4) consistent with the company’s social policy.
Mirova generally will not support votes on dividend policies that: (1) are not correlated with the creation of value; (2) are detrimental to the company’s capacity to invest or to its solvency; and/or (3) are not consistent with the company’s social policy.
Mirova generally will support all resolutions aiming to maintain the loyalty of long-term shareholders and to develop employee shareholding.
|
|
Transparency of Information
|
Mirova generally will not support a resolution approving the annual report if the annual report does not integrate audited and certified information on the environmental and social performance of the company

| 1 | Commissions are based on cumulative investments over the life of the account with no adjustment for redemptions, transfers or market declines. For example, if a shareholder has accumulated investments in excess of $5,000,000 and subsequently redeems all or a portion of the account(s), purchases following the redemption will generate a dealer commission of 0.50%. |
| 2 | A securities dealer may elect, at the time of the investment, to waive their commission on investments of $1,000,000 or more. In such cases, investments will be processed as “Investment with no Sales Charge” as described above. No CDSC will be applied to these investments. |
| 3 | Refers to any investments made by investors not subject to a sales charge as described in each Fund’s Prospectus for Class A shares in the section “How Sales Charges Are Calculated.” Also refers to any Class C share accounts established prior to December 1, 2000. |

Cash bonuses awarded to portfolio managers and analysts, with the allocation based upon quantitative (collective and individual) as well as qualitative criteria. Quantitative criteria include the excess performance of the portfolio versus the benchmark, for both one-year and three-year periods. Qualitative criteria are defined annually to assess the contribution of each team to the overall performance of all portfolios, not just their own.

Equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and ETFs), exchange-traded notes, rights, and warrants — listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by a third-party pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities discussed below) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by a third-party pricing service. If there is no sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by a third-party pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Valuations based on information from foreign markets may be subject to the Fund’s fair value policies described below. If a right is not traded on any exchange, its value is based on the market value of the underlying security, less the cost to subscribe to the underlying security (e.g., to exercise the right), adjusted for the subscription ratio. If a warrant is not traded on any exchange, a price is obtained from a broker-dealer.
|
|
●
|
Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities — evaluated bids furnished to a Fund by a third-party pricing service using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities, if available, or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.
|
|
●
|
Senior Loans — bid prices supplied by a third-party pricing service, if available, or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.
|
|
●
|
Bilateral Swaps — bilateral credit default swaps are valued based on mid prices (between the bid and ask prices) supplied by a third-party pricing service. Bilateral interest rate swaps and bilateral standardized commodity and equity index total return swaps are valued based on prices supplied by a third-party pricing service. If prices from a third-party pricing service are not available, prices from a broker-dealer may be used.
|
|
●
|
Centrally Cleared Swaps — settlement prices of the clearing house on which the contracts were traded or prices obtained from broker-dealers.
|
|
●
|
Options — domestic exchange-traded index and single name equity options contracts (including options on ETFs) are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations as determined by the Options Price Reporting Authority. Foreign exchange-traded single name equity options contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price. Options contracts on foreign indices are priced at the most recent settlement price. Options on futures contracts are valued using the current settlement price on the exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. Other exchange-traded options are valued at the average of the closing bid and ask quotations on the exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. OTC currency options and swaptions are valued at mid-prices (between the bid and ask prices) supplied by a third-party pricing service, if available. Other OTC options contracts (including currency options and swaptions not priced through a third-party pricing service) are valued based on prices obtained from broker-dealers. Valuations based on information from foreign markets may be subject to the Funds’ fair value policies described below.
|

|
Futures — most recent settlement price on the exchange on which the valuation designee believes that, over time, they are traded most extensively. Valuations based on information from foreign markets may be subject to the Funds’ fair value policies described below.

|
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — interpolated rates determined based on information provided by a third-party pricing service.
|

|
Mutual Funds — net asset value.

|
The likelihood of payment—the capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial commitments on an obligation in accordance with the terms of the obligation;
|
|
●
|
The nature and provisions of the financial obligation, and the promise we impute; and
|
|
●
|
The protection afforded by, and relative position of, the financial obligation in the event of a bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors’ rights.
|
|
●
|
Amortization schedule—the larger the final maturity relative to other maturities, the more likely it will be treated as a note; and
|
|
●
|
Source of payment—the more dependent the issue is on the market for its refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note.
|
|
●
|
Preliminary ratings may be assigned to obligations, most commonly structured and project finance issues, pending receipt of final documentation and legal opinions.
|
|
●
|
Preliminary ratings may be assigned to obligations that will likely be issued upon the obligor’s emergence from bankruptcy or similar reorganization, based on late-stage reorganization plans, documentation, and discussions with the obligor. Preliminary ratings may also be assigned to the obligors. These ratings consider the anticipated general credit quality of the reorganized or post-bankruptcy issuer as well as attributes of the anticipated obligation(s).
|
|
●
|
Preliminary ratings may be assigned to entities that are being formed or that are in the process of being independently established when, in S&P Global Ratings’ opinion, documentation is close to final. Preliminary ratings may also be assigned to the obligations of these entities.
|
|
●
|
Preliminary ratings may be assigned when a previously unrated entity is undergoing a well-formulated restructuring, recapitalization, significant financing, or other transformative event, generally at the point that investor or lender commitments are invited. The preliminary rating may be assigned to the entity and to its proposed obligation(s). These preliminary ratings consider the anticipated general credit quality of the obligor, as well as attributes of the anticipated obligation(s), assuming successful completion of the transformative event. Should the transformative event not occur, S&P Global Ratings would likely withdraw these preliminary ratings.
|
|
●
|
A preliminary recovery rating may be assigned to an obligation that has a preliminary issue credit rating.
|
| * | By their terms, hybrid securities allow for the omission of scheduled dividends, interest, or principal payments, which can potentially result in impairment if such an omission occurs. Hybrid securities may also be subject to contractually allowable write-downs of principal that could result in impairment. Together with the hybrid indicator, the long-term obligation rating assigned to a hybrid security is an expression of the relative credit risk associated with that security. |
|
●
|
The issuer has entered into a grace or cure period following non-payment of a material financial obligation;
|
|
●
|
The formal announcement by the issuer or their agent of a DDE; and
|
|
●
|
A closed financing vehicle where payment capacity is irrevocably impaired such that it is not expected to pay interest and/or principal in full during the life of the transaction, but where no payment default is imminent.
|
|
●
|
An uncured payment default or DDE on a bond, loan or other material financial obligation, but
|
|
●
|
Has not entered into bankruptcy filings, administration, receivership, liquidation, or other formal winding-up procedure, and
|
|
●
|
Has not otherwise ceased operating. This would include:
|
|
○
|
The selective payment default on a specific class or currency of debt;
|
|
○
|
The uncured expiry of any applicable original grace period, cure period or default forbearance period following a payment default on a bank loan, capital markets security or other material financial obligation.
|
|
●
|
The ratings do not predict a specific percentage of default likelihood or failure likelihood over any given time period.
|
|
●
|
The ratings do not opine on the market value of an issuer’s securities or stock, or the likelihood that this value may change.
|
|
●
|
The ratings do not opine on the liquidity of an issuer’s securities or stock.
|
|
●
|
Obligation ratings assigned on the Probability of Default only scale do not opine on the possible loss severity on such obligation should an issuer (or an obligation with respect to structured finance transactions) default, except in limited circumstances for U.S. public finance obligations where Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code provides reliably superior prospects for ultimate recovery to local government obligations that benefit from a statutory lien on revenues or during the pendency of a bankruptcy proceeding under the Code if there is sufficient visibility on potential recovery prospects.
|
|
●
|
The ratings do not opine on the suitability of an issuer as a counterparty to trade credit.
|
|
The ratings do not opine on any quality related to an issuer’s business, operational or financial profile other than the agency’s opinion on its relative vulnerability to default or in the case of Viability Ratings (VRs) on its relative vulnerability to failure. For the avoidance of doubt, not all defaults will be considered a default for rating purposes. Typically, a default relates to a liability payable to an unaffiliated, outside investor.
|
|
The ratings do not opine on any quality related to a transaction’s profile other than the agency’s opinion on the relative vulnerability to default of an issuer and/or of each rated tranche or security.
|
|
The ratings do not predict a specific percentage of extraordinary support likelihood over any given period.
|
|
In the case of Government and Shareholder Support Ratings, the ratings do not opine on any quality related to an issuer’s business, operational or financial profile other than the agency’s opinion on its relative likelihood of receiving external extraordinary support.
|
|
●
|
‘Matured’ – Denoted as ‘NR’. This action is used when an issue has reached its redemption date and rating coverage is discontinued. This indicates that a previously rated issue has been repaid, but other issues of the same program (rated or unrated) may remain outstanding. For the convenience of investors, Fitch may also include issues relating to a rated issuer or transaction that are not and have not been rated on its section of the web page relating to the respective issuer or transaction. Such issues will also be denoted ‘NR’.
|
|
●
|
‘Paid-In-Full’ – Denoted as ‘PIF’. This action indicates that an issue has been paid in full. In covered bonds, PIF is only used when all issues of a program have been repaid.
|
| * | A Rating Action or Review must be recorded for each rating in a required cycle to be considered compliant with Fitch policy concerning aging of ratings. Not all Rating Actions, Data Actions, or changes in rating modifiers, meet this requirement. Actions or Reviews that can meet this requirement are noted with an *. |

|
U.S. Treasury Bills — Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury that are issued in maturities of one year or less. No interest is paid on Treasury bills; instead, they are issued at a discount and repaid at full face value when they mature. They are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
|
|
U.S. Treasury Notes and Bonds — Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury issued in maturities that vary between one and thirty years, with interest normally payable every six (6) months. These obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
|
|
U.S. Treasury Floating Rate Notes — Treasury Floating Rate Notes are relatively new instruments authorized by amendments to the U.S. Treasury’s marketable securities auction rules. As with other floating rate securities, at certain intervals the interest payment on a Treasury Floating Rate Note will increase when the applicable index increases, and will decrease when the applicable index decreases. Treasury Floating Rate Notes are a relatively new type of financial instrument. As such, there is no significant trading history of these securities, and there can be no assurance that a liquid market in these securities will develop. Lack of a liquid market may impose the risk of higher transaction costs and the possibility that a Fund may be forced to liquidate positions when it would not be advantageous to do so.
|
|
Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) — Fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on TIPS is fixed at issuance, but over the life of the bond this interest may be paid on an increasing or decreasing principal value that has been adjusted for inflation. Although repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed, the market value of TIPS is not guaranteed, and will fluctuate.
|
|
“Ginnie Maes” — Debt securities issued by a mortgage banker or other mortgagee that represent an interest in a pool of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or the Rural Housing Service or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration. The GNMA guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest when such payments are due, whether or not these amounts are
|
|
collected by the issuer of these certificates on the underlying mortgages. It is generally understood that a guarantee by GNMA is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Mortgages included in single family or multi-family residential mortgage pools backing an issue of Ginnie Maes have a maximum maturity of 30 years. Scheduled payments of principal and interest are made to the registered holders of Ginnie Maes (such as the Funds) each month. Unscheduled prepayments may be made by homeowners, or as a result of a default. Prepayments are passed through to the registered holder (such as the Funds, which reinvest any prepayments) of Ginnie Maes along with regular monthly payments of principal and interest.
|
|
“Fannie Maes” — The FNMA is a government-sponsored corporation owned entirely by private stockholders that purchases residential mortgages from a list of approved seller/servicers, including state and federally chartered savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial banks, credit unions and mortgage banks. Fannie Maes are pass-through securities issued by FNMA that are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA, but these obligations are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
|
|
“Freddie Macs” — The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) is a corporate instrumentality of the U.S. government. Freddie Macs are participation certificates issued by FHLMC that represent an interest in residential mortgages from FHLMC’s National Portfolio. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but these obligations are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

|
●
|
With respect to a company’s board of directors, Harris believes that boards should have a majority of independent directors and that audit, compensation and nominating committees should generally consist solely of independent directors, and it will usually vote in favor of proposals that ensure such independence.
|
|
●
|
With respect to auditors, Harris believes that the relationship between an issuer and its auditors should be limited primarily to the audit engagement, although it may include certain closely related activities such as financial statement preparation and tax-related services that do not raise any appearance of impaired independence.
|
|
●
|
With respect to equity based compensation plans, Harris believes that appropriately designed equity-based compensation plans approved by shareholders can be an effective way to align the interests of long-term shareholders and the interests of management, employees and directors. However, Harris is opposed to plans if they have historically been used to provide participants with excessive awards or have inherently objectionable structural features.
|
|
●
|
With respect to corporate structure and shareholder rights, Harris generally believes that all shareholders of an issuer should have an equal voice and that barriers which limit the ability of shareholders to effect change and to realize full value are not desirable.
|
|
●
|
With respect to “social responsibility” issues, Harris believes that matters related to a company’s day-to-day business operations are primarily the responsibility of management. Harris is focused on maximizing long-term shareholder value and will usually vote against shareholder proposals requesting that a company disclose or amend certain business practices unless Harris believes the proposal would have a substantial positive economic impact on the company.

Equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and ETFs), exchange-traded notes, rights, and warrants — listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by a third-party pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities discussed below) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by a third-party pricing service. If there is no sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by a third-party pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Valuations based on information from foreign markets may be subject to the Fund’s fair value policies described below. If a right is not traded on any exchange, its value is based on the market value of the underlying security, less the cost to subscribe to the underlying security (e.g., to exercise the right), adjusted for the subscription ratio. If a warrant is not traded on any exchange, a price is obtained from a broker-dealer.
|
|
●
|
Debt Securities and unlisted preferred equity securities — evaluated bids furnished to a Fund by a third-party pricing service using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities, if available, or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.
|
|
●
|
Equity-Linked Notes — valued using broker-dealer bid prices.
|
|
●
|
Senior Loans — bid prices supplied by a third-party pricing service, if available, or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.
|
|
●
|
Bilateral Swaps — bilateral credit default swaps are valued based on mid prices (between the bid and ask prices) supplied by a third-party pricing service. Bilateral interest rate swaps and bilateral standardized commodity and equity index total return swaps are valued based on prices supplied by a third-party pricing service. If prices from a third-party pricing service are not available, prices from a broker-dealer may be used.
|
|
●
|
Centrally Cleared Swaps – settlement prices of the clearing house on which the contracts were traded or prices obtained from broker-dealers.
|
|
●
|
Options — domestic exchange-traded index and single name equity options contracts (including options on ETFs) are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations as determined by the Options Price Reporting Authority. Foreign exchange-traded single name equity options contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price. Options contracts on foreign indices are priced at the most recent settlement price. Options on futures contracts are valued using the current settlement price on the exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. Other exchange-traded options are valued at the average of the closing bid and ask quotations on the exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. OTC currency options and swaptions are valued at mid prices (between the bid and ask prices) supplied by a third-party pricing service, if available. Other OTC option contracts (including currency options and swaptions not priced through a third-party pricing service) are valued based on prices obtained from broker-dealers. Valuations based on information from foreign markets may be subject to the Funds’ fair value policies described below.
|
|

|
Futures — most recent settlement price on the exchange on which the valuation designee believes that, over time, they are traded most extensively. Valuations based on information from foreign markets may be subject to the Funds’ fair value policies described below.

|
The likelihood of payment—the capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial commitments on an obligation in accordance with the terms of the obligation;
|
|
●
|
The nature and provisions of the financial obligation, and the promise we impute; and
|
|
●
|
The protection afforded by, and relative position of, the financial obligation in the event of a bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors’ rights.
|
|
●
|
Amortization schedule—the larger the final maturity relative to other maturities, the more likely it will be treated as a note; and
|
|
●
|
Source of payment—the more dependent the issue is on the market for its refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note.
|
|
●
|
Preliminary ratings may be assigned to obligations, most commonly structured and project finance issues, pending receipt of final documentation and legal opinions.
|
|
●
|
Preliminary ratings may be assigned to obligations that will likely be issued upon the obligor’s emergence from bankruptcy or similar reorganization, based on late-stage reorganization plans, documentation, and discussions with the obligor. Preliminary ratings may also be assigned to the obligors. These ratings consider the anticipated general credit quality of the reorganized or post-bankruptcy issuer as well as attributes of the anticipated obligation(s).
|
|
●
|
Preliminary ratings may be assigned to entities that are being formed or that are in the process of being independently established when, in S&P Global Ratings’ opinion, documentation is close to final. Preliminary ratings may also be assigned to the obligations of these entities.
|
|
●
|
Preliminary ratings may be assigned when a previously unrated entity is undergoing a well-formulated restructuring, recapitalization, significant financing, or other transformative event, generally at the point that investor or lender commitments are invited. The preliminary rating may be assigned to the entity and to its proposed obligation(s). These preliminary ratings consider the anticipated general credit quality of the obligor, as well as attributes of the anticipated obligation(s), assuming successful completion of the transformative event. Should the transformative event not occur, S&P Global Ratings would likely withdraw these preliminary ratings.
|
|
●
|
A preliminary recovery rating may be assigned to an obligation that has a preliminary issue credit rating.
|
| * | By their terms, hybrid securities allow for the omission of scheduled dividends, interest, or principal payments, which can potentially result in impairment if such an omission occurs. Hybrid securities may also be subject to contractually allowable write-downs of principal that could result in impairment. Together with the hybrid indicator, the long-term obligation rating assigned to a hybrid security is an expression of the relative credit risk associated with that security. |
|
●
|
The issuer has entered into a grace or cure period following non-payment of a material financial obligation;
|
|
●
|
The formal announcement by the issuer or their agent of a DDE; and
|
|
●
|
A closed financing vehicle where payment capacity is irrevocably impaired such that it is not expected to pay interest and/or principal in full during the life of the transaction, but where no payment default is imminent.
|
|
●
|
An uncured payment default or DDE on a bond, loan or other material financial obligation, but
|
|
●
|
Has not entered into bankruptcy filings, administration, receivership, liquidation, or other formal winding-up procedure, and
|
|
●
|
Has not otherwise ceased operating. This would include:
|
|
○
|
The selective payment default on a specific class or currency of debt;
|
|
○
|
The uncured expiry of any applicable original grace period, cure period or default forbearance period following a payment default on a bank loan, capital markets security or other material financial obligation.
|
|
●
|
The ratings do not predict a specific percentage of default likelihood or failure likelihood over any given time period.
|
|
●
|
The ratings do not opine on the market value of an issuer’s securities or stock, or the likelihood that this value may change.
|
|
●
|
The ratings do not opine on the liquidity of an issuer’s securities or stock.
|
|
●
|
Obligation ratings assigned on the Probability of Default Only scale do not opine on the possible loss severity on such obligation should an issuer (or an obligation with respect to structured finance transactions) default, except in limited circumstances for US public finance obligations where Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code provides reliably superior prospects for ultimate recovery to local government obligations that benefit from a statutory lien on revenues or during the pendency of a bankruptcy proceeding under the Code if there is sufficient visibility on potential recovery prospects.
|
|
●
|
The ratings do not opine on the suitability of an issuer as a counterparty to trade credit.
|
|
●
|
The ratings do not opine on any quality related to an issuer’s business, operational or financial profile other than the agency’s opinion on its relative vulnerability to default or in the case of Viability Ratings (“VRs”) on its relative vulnerability to failure. For the avoidance of doubt, not all defaults will be considered a default for rating purposes. Typically, a default relates to a liability payable to an unaffiliated, outside investor.
|
|
●
|
The ratings do not opine on any quality related to a transaction’s profile other than the agency’s opinion on the relative vulnerability to default of an issuer and/or of each rated tranche or security.
|
|
●
|
The ratings do not predict a specific percentage of extraordinary support likelihood over any given period.
|
|
●
|
In the case of Government and Shareholder Support Ratings, the ratings do not opine on any quality related to an issuer’s business, operational or financial profile other than the agency’s opinion on its relative likelihood of receiving external extraordinary support.
|
|
●
|
The ratings do not opine on the suitability of any security for investment or any other purposes.
|
|
●
|
‘Matured’ – Denoted as ‘NR’. This action is used when an issue has reached its redemption date and rating coverage is discontinued. This indicates that a previously rated issue has been repaid, but other issues of the same program (rated or unrated) may remain outstanding. For the convenience of investors, Fitch may also include issues relating to a rated issuer or transaction that are not and have not been rated on its section of the web page relating to the respective issuer or transaction. Such issues will also be denoted ‘NR’.
|
|
●
|
‘Paid-In-Full’ – Denoted as ‘PIF’. This action indicates that an issue has been paid in full. In covered bonds, PIF is only used when all issues of a program have been repaid.
|
| * | A Rating Action or Review must be recorded for each rating in a required cycle to be considered compliant with Fitch policy concerning aging of ratings. Not all Rating Actions, Data Actions, or changes in rating modifiers, meet this requirement. Actions or Reviews that can meet this requirement are noted with an *. |

Item 29. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Registrant.
The Registrant is not aware of any person controlled by or under common control with any of its series. As of April 1, 2026, no person owned 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities of one or more series of the Registrant and thus may be deemed to “control” the series within the meaning of section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act.
Item 30. Indemnification.
Under Article 5 of the Registrant’s By-laws, any past or present Trustee or officer of the Registrant (hereinafter referred to as a “Covered Person”) shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law against all liability and all expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or otherwise involved by reason of his or her being or having been a Covered Person. That provision does not authorize indemnification when it is determined that such Covered Person would otherwise be liable to the Registrant or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties. This description is modified in its entirety by the provision of Article 5 of the Registrant’s By-laws incorporated by reference to exhibit (b)(1) to PEA No. 76 to the Registration Statement filed on December 3, 2008.
The Distribution Agreement, the Custodian Agreement, the Transfer Agency and Service Agreement and the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreements”) contained herein and in various PEAs and incorporated herein by reference, provide for indemnification. The general effect of these provisions is to indemnify entities contracting with the Registrant against liability and expenses in certain circumstances. This description is modified in its entirety by the provisions of the Agreements as contained in this Registration Statement and incorporated herein by reference.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to Trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Registrant by such Trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The Registrant and its Trustees, officers and employees are insured, under a policy of insurance maintained by the Registrant in conjunction with Natixis Investment Managers, LLC and its affiliates, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policy, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities that might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having been such Trustees or officers. The policy expressly excludes coverage for any
Trustee or officer for any claim arising out of any fraudulent act or omission, any dishonest act or omission or any criminal act or omission of the Trustee or officer.
