| 1 | Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. ("Loomis Sayles" or the "Adviser") has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Fund to limit the amount of the Fund's total annual fund operating expenses to 0.69%, 0.94% and 0.64% of the Fund's average daily net assets for Institutional Class shares, Retail Class shares and Class N shares, respectively, exclusive of brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, organizational and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and indemnification expenses. This undertaking is in effect through January 31, 2024 and may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Adviser will be permitted to recover, on a class by class basis, management fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed to the extent that expenses in later periods fall below both (1) the class' applicable expense limitation at the time such amounts were waived/reimbursed and (2) the class' current applicable expense limitation. The Fund will not be obligated to repay any such waived/reimbursed fees and expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed. |

**Example**

The example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the examples are based on the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement assuming that such waiver and/or reimbursement will only be in place through the date noted above and on the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the remaining periods. The example does not take into account brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries that you may pay on your purchases and sales of shares of the Fund. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes for you if your Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During its most recently ended fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 103% of the average value of its portfolio.

**INVESTMENTS, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE**

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in fixed-income securities (for example, bonds and other investments that Loomis Sayles believes have similar economic characteristics, such as notes, debentures and loans). The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade fixed-income securities worldwide, although it may invest up to 20% of its assets in below investment-grade fixed-income securities (commonly known as "junk bonds"). Below investment-grade fixed-income securities are rated below investment-grade quality (i.e., none of the three major rating agencies (Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Fitch Investor Services, Inc. or S&P Global Ratings) have rated the securities in one of their respective top four rating categories). The Fund's fixed-income securities investments may include unrated securities (securities that are not rated by a rating agency) if Loomis Sayles determines that the securities are of comparable quality to rated securities that the Fund may purchase. Securities held by the Fund may be denominated in any currency and may be issued by issuers located in countries with emerging securities markets. The Fund may invest in fixed-income securities of any maturity. The Fund may also invest in foreign currencies and may engage in other foreign currency transactions (such as forward currency contracts) for investment or hedging purposes.

In deciding which securities to buy and sell, Loomis Sayles may consider a number of factors related to the bond issue and the current bond market, including for example, the stability and volatility of a country's bond markets, the financial strength of the issuer, current interest rates, current valuations, Loomis Sayles' expectations regarding general trends in interest rates and currency considerations. Loomis Sayles will also consider how purchasing or selling a bond would impact the overall portfolio's risk profile (for example, its sensitivity to currency risk, interest rate risk and sector-specific risk) and potential return (income and capital gains).

Three themes typically drive the Fund's investment approach. First, Loomis Sayles generally seeks fixed-income securities that are attractively valued relative to the Loomis Sayles' credit research team's assessment of credit risk. The broad coverage combined with the objective to identify attractive investment opportunities makes this an important component of the investment approach. Second, Loomis Sayles analyzes political, economic and other fundamental factors and combines this analysis with a comparison of the yield spreads of various fixed-income securities in an effort to find securities that it believes may produce attractive returns for the Fund in comparison to their risk. Third, if a security that is believed to be attractive is denominated in a foreign currency, Loomis Sayles analyzes whether to accept or to hedge the currency risk.

In assessing both risks and opportunities related to the Fund's investments, Loomis Sayles seeks to take into account the factors that may influence an investment's performance over time. This includes material environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") risks and opportunities (those which could cause a material impact on the value of an investment).

In integrating risks and opportunities into its investment process, Loomis Sayles takes into account ESG factors that it deems may be material to an investment, such as carbon intensity, renewable energy usage from low carbon sources, workplace diversity, and board composition, at all stages of the investment management process, including strategy development, investment analysis and due diligence, and portfolio construction (including at the point where the investment team considers investment opportunities), and as part of its ongoing monitoring and risk analysis.

To the extent that Loomis Sayles concludes that there is an ESG risk associated with an investment, Loomis Sayles assesses the probability and potential impact of that ESG risk against the potential pecuniary advantage to the Fund of making the investment. If Loomis Sayles believes the potential pecuniary advantage outweighs the actual or potential impact of the ESG risk, then Loomis Sayles may still make the investment.

The fixed-income securities in which the Fund may invest include, among other instruments, corporate bonds and other debt securities, U.S. government securities, commercial paper, zero-coupon securities, securitized and mortgage-related securities (including senior and junior loans, mortgage dollar rolls and collateralized mortgage obligations) and other asset-backed securities, when-issued securities, securities issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Rule 144A securities"), bank loans, structured notes, collateralized loan obligations, repurchase agreements and convertible securities. The Fund may also engage in options and futures transactions and swap transactions (including credit default swaps, in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to a counterparty in

------

exchange for the right to receive a payment in the event of a default of the underlying reference security).

**Principal Risks**

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below. The Fund does not represent a complete investment program. You may lose money by investing in the Fund.

Fund shares are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed, endorsed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency, and are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of the principal invested.

The significance of any specific risk to an investment in the Fund will vary over time, depending on the composition of the Fund's portfolio, market conditions, and other factors. You should read all of the risk information presented below carefully, because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund.

**Currency Risk** is the risk that the value of the Fund's investments will fall as a result of changes in exchange rates. Loomis Sayles may elect not to hedge currency risk or may hedge imperfectly, which may cause the Fund to incur losses that would not have been incurred had the risk been hedged.

**Interest Rate Risk** is the risk that the value of the Fund's investments will fall if interest rates rise. Generally, the value of fixed-income securities rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when interest rates rise. Interest rate risk generally is greater for funds that invest in fixed-income securities with relatively longer durations than for funds that invest in fixed-income securities with shorter durations. The values of zero-coupon securities and securities with longer maturities are generally more sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates than other fixed-income securities. In addition, an economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these securities and reduce the Fund's ability to sell them, negatively impacting the performance of the Fund. Potential future changes in government and/or central bank monetary policy and action may also affect the level of interest rates.

Recently, there have been inflationary price movements, which have caused the fixed income securities markets to experience heightened levels of interest volatility and liquidity risk. The risks associated with rising interest rates may be particularly acute because of recent monetary policy measures.

**Credit/Counterparty Risk** is the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security in which the Fund invests, or the counterparty to a derivative or other transaction, will be unable or unwilling to make timely payments of interest or principal or to otherwise honor its obligations. As a result, the Fund may sustain losses or be unable or delayed in its ability to realize gains.

**Emerging Markets Risk** is the risk that the Fund's investments in emerging markets may face greater foreign securities risk. Emerging markets investments are subject to greater risks arising from political or economic instability, war, nationalization or confiscatory taxation, currency exchange or repatriation restrictions, sanctions by other countries (such as the United States or the European Union), new or inconsistent government treatment of or restrictions on issuers and instruments, and an issuer's unwillingness or inability to make dividend, principal or interest payments on its securities. Emerging markets companies may be smaller and have shorter operating histories than companies in developed markets.

**Below Investment-Grade Fixed-Income Securities Risk** is the risk that the Fund's investments in below investment-grade fixed-income securities may be subject to greater risks than other fixed-income securities, including being subject to greater levels of interest rate risk, credit risk (including a greater risk of default) and liquidity risk. The ability of the issuer to make principal and interest payments is predominantly speculative for below investment-grade fixed-income securities.

**Bank Loans Risk** is the risk that the Fund's investments in bank loans are subject to credit risk and may not be adequately collateralized. Indebtedness of borrowers whose creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater risks and may be highly speculative. The interest rates on many bank loans reset frequently, and thus bank loans are subject to interest rate risk. Most bank loans, like most investment-grade bonds, are not traded on any national securities exchange. There may also be less public information available about bank loans as compared to other debt securities.

**Collateralized Loan Obligation ("CLO") Risk** is the risk that the Fund's investments in CLOs involve risks in addition to the risks associated with investments in debt obligations and other fixed-income securities such as credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and market/issuer risk. The degree of such risk will generally correspond to the type of underlying assets and the specific tranche in which the Fund is invested. A CLO's performance is linked to the expertise of the CLO manager and its ability to manage the CLO's portfolio. Changes in the regulation of CLOs may adversely affect the value of the CLO investments held by the Fund. The tranche of the CLO held by the Fund may be subordinate to other classes of the CLO's debt. CLO debt is payable solely from the proceeds of the CLO's underlying assets and, therefore, if the income from the underlying loans is insufficient to make payments on one or more tranches of the CLO's debt,

------

fund summary

------

no other assets will be available for payment. CLO debt securities may be subject to redemption and the timing of redemptions may adversely affect the returns on CLO debt. The CLO manager may not find suitable assets in which to invest and the CLO manager's opportunities to invest may be limited.

**Cybersecurity and Technology Risk** is the risk associated with the increasing dependence of the Fund, its service providers, and other market participants on complex information technology and communications systems. Such systems are subject to a number of different threats and risks that could adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders. Cybersecurity and other operational and technology issues may result in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders.

**Derivatives Risk** is the risk that the value of the Fund's derivative investments such as forward currency contracts, structured notes, options, futures transactions and swap transactions will fall, for example, because of changes in the value of the underlying reference instruments, pricing difficulties or lack of correlation with the underlying investments. The use of derivatives for other than hedging purposes may be considered a speculative activity, and involves greater risks than are involved in hedging. There is also the risk that the Fund may be unable to terminate or sell a derivative position at an advantageous time or price. The Fund's derivative counterparties may experience financial difficulties or otherwise be unwilling or unable to honor their obligations, possibly resulting in losses to the Fund. This risk is greater for forward currency contracts, uncleared swaps and other over-the-counter ("OTC") traded derivatives. Investing in derivatives gives rise to other risks, such as leverage risk, liquidity risk, credit/counterparty risk, interest rate risk and market/issuer risk. The use of derivatives may cause the Fund to incur losses greater than those which would have occurred had derivatives not been used.

**ESG Risk** is the risk related to ESG factors that may impact the performance of securities in which the Fund invests. Such ESG factors include, for example, climate change; resource depletion; renewal energy usage; governance, diversity and labor practices; workplace health and safety; supply chain standards; and product health and safety. The companies or issuers in which the Fund invests may not have favorable ESG characteristics.

**Foreign Securities Risk** is the risk that the value of the Fund's foreign investments will fall as a result of foreign political, social, economic, environmental, credit, informational or currency changes or other issues relating to foreign investing generally. Foreign securities may be subject to higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. The Fund's investments in foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding or other taxes, which would decrease the yield on those securities.

**Inflation/Deflation Risk** is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the present value of future payments. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund's portfolio could decline. Inflation rates may change frequently and drastically. The Fund's investments may not keep pace with inflation, which may result in losses to the Fund's investors. Recently, inflation rates in the United States and elsewhere have been increasing. There can be no assurance that this trend will not continue or that efforts to slow or reverse inflation will not harm the economy and asset values. Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time - the opposite of inflation. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Fund's portfolio.

**Leverage Risk** is the risk associated with securities or investment practices (e.g., borrowing and the use of certain derivatives) that multiply small index, market or asset price movements into larger changes in value. Use of derivative instruments (such as futures and forward currency contracts) may involve leverage. When a derivative is used as a hedge against an offsetting position that the Fund also holds, any gains generated by the derivative should be substantially offset by losses on the hedged instrument, and vice versa. To the extent that the Fund uses a derivative for purposes other than as a hedge, or if the Fund hedges imperfectly, the Fund is directly exposed to the risks of that derivative and any loss generated by the derivative will not be offset by a gain. The use of leverage increases the impact of gains and losses on the Fund's returns, and may lead to significant losses if investments are not successful.

**Liquidity Risk** is the risk that the Fund may be unable to find a buyer for its investments when it seeks to sell them or to receive the price it expects. Events that may lead to increased redemptions, such as market disruptions or increases in interest rates, may also negatively impact the liquidity of the Fund's investments when it needs to dispose of them. If the Fund is forced to sell its investments at an unfavorable time and/or under adverse conditions in order to meet redemption requests, such sales could negatively affect the Fund. During times of market turmoil, there may be no buyers or sellers for securities in certain asset classes. Securities acquired in a private placement, such as Rule 144A securities, are generally subject to significant liquidity risk because they are subject to strict restrictions on resale and there may be no liquid secondary market or ready purchaser for such securities. In other circumstances, liquid investments may become illiquid. Liquidity issues may also make it difficult to value the Fund's investments. The Fund may invest in liquid investments that become illiquid due to financial distress, or geopolitical events such as sanctions, trading halts or wars.

**Management Risk** is the risk that Loomis Sayles' investment techniques will be unsuccessful and cause the Fund to incur losses.

**Market/Issuer Risk** is the risk that the market value of the Fund's investments will move up and down, sometimes rapidly and

------

fund summary

------

unpredictably, based upon overall market and economic conditions, as well as a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuers of the Fund's investments, such as management performance, financial condition and demand for the issuers' goods and services.

**Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities Risk** is the risk associated with the mortgages and assets underlying the securities, as well as the risk that the securities may be prepaid and result in the reinvestment of the prepaid amounts in securities with lower yields than the prepaid obligations. Conversely, there is a risk that a rise in interest rates will extend the life of a mortgage-related or asset-backed security beyond the expected prepayment time, typically reducing the security's value, which is called extension risk. The Fund may also incur a loss when there is a prepayment of securities that were purchased at a premium. It also includes risks associated with investing in the mortgages underlying the mortgage-backed securities. The Fund's investments in other asset-backed securities are subject to risks similar to those associated with mortgage-related securities, as well as additional risks associated with the nature of the assets and the servicing of those assets. The Fund's investments in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are also subject to the risks associated with investments in fixed-income securities generally (e.g., credit/counterparty, liquidity, inflation and valuation risks).

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through tax-advantaged arrangements, such as 401(k) plans, qualified plans, education savings accounts, such as 529 plans, or individual retirement accounts. The after-tax returns are shown for the Institutional Class of the Fund. After-tax returns for the other classes of the Fund will vary. Index performance reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. The Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares for the 1-year period and 5-year period exceeds the Return Before Taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period.

**PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES**

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of the Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
