## How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
**Explanation of Fund Performance**

We are highly selective investors with a long-term, private equity approach to investing. Through our proprietary bottom-up research framework, we look to invest in those few high-quality businesses with sustainable competitive advantages and profitable growth when they trade at a significant discount to our estimate of intrinsic value. In a typical year we may analyze 30 companies and invest in only a select few. The nature of our process leads to lower portfolio turnover. As a result of this rigorous approach, ours is a selective, high-conviction portfolio of 20 to 30 holdings.

**Top Contributors to Performance**

• Nvidia, Alphabet, Monster Beverage, Meta Platforms and Netflix were among the top contributors to performance during the year.

• Stock selection in the consumer staples, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors as well as our allocation to the communication services, healthcare, financials and industrials sectors contributed to relative performance.

**Top Detractors from Performance**

• Salesforce, FactSet Research Systems, Workday, Starbucks, and Illumina were among the top detractors to performance during the year.

• Stock selection in the information technology, healthcare, financials and communication services sectors as well as our allocation to the information technology, consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors detracted from relative performance.

**Investment Activity**

All aspects of our quality-growth-valuation investment thesis must be present simultaneously for us to make an investment. Often our research is completed well in advance of the opportunity to invest. We are patient investors and maintain coverage of high-quality businesses in order to take advantage of meaningful price dislocations if and when they occur. During the year we added to our existing position in Vertex as near-term price weakness created an attractive reward-to-risk opportunity.

## Fund Performance
The Fund's benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested. The tables do not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any fund distributions or when they redeem their shares. You cannot invest directly in an index.

## How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
**Top Contributors to Performance**

• The largest contributor to performance over the past 12 months was the portfolio's selection within Consumer Discretionary led by TopBuild Corp.

• Selection within Financials also contributed to performance with JPMorgan Chase & Co. leading.

**Top Detractors from Performance**

• The largest detractor from performance over the past 12 months was security selection within Industrials, an underperforming sector. Saia, Inc. hindered the sector the most.

• The portfolio's selection within Information Technology also negatively impacted performance. ServiceNow, Inc. was the weakest name.

**Investment Activity**

As a result of buys and sells and market action, the portfolio is overweight Communication Services, Industrials, Materials, Energy, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary while underweight Consumer Staples, Health Care, Utilities, Real Estate, and Financials.

We continued to sell positions that we believe to be fully valued or that could face increased earnings pressure as we move into the late stages of this economic recovery and added to existing positions or established new positions that met our investment criteria.

We continue to position the portfolio into companies that have lower earnings variability, higher profitability, and stronger balance sheets than the broader investment universe, and where we can get these characteristics at similar valuation levels to the benchmark index. We still do not favor any single industry or sector and continue to look for the characteristics noted above across all industries.

Annually, the Registrant's Audit Committee reviews the audit, audit-related, tax and other non-audit services together with the projected fees, for services proposed to be rendered to the Registrant and/or other entities for which pre-approval is required during the upcoming year. Any subsequent revisions to already pre-approved services or fees (including fee increases) and requests for pre-approval of new services would be presented for consideration quarterly as needed.

If, in the opinion of management, a proposed engagement by the Registrant's independent accountants needs to commence before the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, any member of the Audit Committee who is an Independent Trustee of the Registrant is authorized to pre-approve the engagement, but only for engagements to provide audit, audit related and tax services. This approval is subject to review by the full Audit Committee at its next quarterly meeting. All other engagements require the approval of all the members of the Audit Committee.

(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4 (b) through (d) were approved pursuant to de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**1. Organization.** Natixis ETF Trust and Natixis ETF Trust II (the "Trusts" and each a "Trust") are each organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. Each Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of the Funds. Shares of the Funds are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "NYSE Arca") and traded on other exchanges. The following funds (individually, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") are included in this report:

<u>Natixis ETF Trust:</u>

Natixis Gateway Quality Income ETF ("Quality Income ETF")

<u>Natixis ETF Trust II:</u>

Natixis Loomis Sayles Focused Growth ETF ("Focused Growth ETF")

Natixis Vaughan Nelson Select ETF ("Select ETF")

Quality Income ETF is a diversified investment company. Focused Growth ETF and Select ETF are non-diversified investment companies.

The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis through ALPS Distributors, Inc. ("ALPS"). Each Fund may pay ALPS, an unaffiliated distributor, fees under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "12b-1 Plan"). Currently, no Rule 12b-1

fees are charged. Future payments may be made under the 12b-1 Plan without further shareholder approval.

Most expenses can be directly attributed to a Fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the Funds in Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV and Gateway

Trust ("Natixis Funds Trusts"), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II ("Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts") and the Trusts.

**2. Significant Accounting Policies.** The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds' financial statements follow the accounting and reporting guidelines provided for investment companies and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund operates as a single segment entity, focusing on investments in a portfolio of securities. Each Fund's named president acts as chief operating decision maker ("CODM") regarding allocation of resources and performance assessment. Financial information including, but not limited to, portfolio composition, net asset changes and total returns, is used by the CODM to assess performance and to make resource allocation decisions and is consistent with that presented within the financial statements. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to year-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds' financial statements.

**a. Valuation.** Registered investment companies are required to value portfolio investments using an unadjusted, readily available market quotation. Each Fund obtains readily available market quotations from independent pricing services. Fund investments for which readily available market quotations are not available are priced at fair value pursuant to the Funds' Valuation Procedures. The Board of Trustees has approved a valuation designee who is subject to the Board's oversight.

Unadjusted readily available market quotations that are utilized for exchange traded equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) include the last sale price quoted on the exchange where the security is traded most extensively. Futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price on the exchange on which the valuation designee believes that, over time, they are traded most extensively. Shares of open-end investment companies are valued at NAV per share.

Exchange traded equity securities for which there is no reported sale during the day are fair valued at the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are fair 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 an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be fair valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available.

Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are fair valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Equity-linked notes are fair valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to fair value debt and unlisted equities where an independent pricing service is unable to price an investment or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the investment.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2025

The Fund may also fair value investments in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market, but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer's security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing a Fund's investments, the valuation designee may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as issuer specific information, or other related market activity and/or information that occurred after the close of the foreign market but before the time the Fund's NAV is calculated. Fair valuation by the Fund(s) valuation designee may require subjective determinations about the value of the investment, and fair values used to determine a Fund's NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same investments. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of investments held by a Fund.

**b. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income.** Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income (including income reinvested) and foreign withholding tax, if applicable, are recorded on the ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends reinvested and stock dividends are reflected as non-cash dividends on the Statements of Operations. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium, if applicable. For securities with pay down provisions, principal payments received are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities, and excess or shortfall amounts are recorded as income. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis.

**c. Foreign Currency Translation.** The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars

based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding

taxes recorded in the Funds' books and records and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the

end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. For federal income tax purposes, net

realized foreign exchange gains or losses are characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.

The values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period for financial reporting purposes. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments reported in the Statements of Operations reflect gains

or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates and fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities.

The Funds may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

**d. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes.** The Trusts treat each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("IRC"), as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund's tax positions for the open tax years as of December 31, 2025 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, where applicable, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

A Fund may be subject to foreign withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts that have been or are expected to be reclaimed and paid. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes where reclaims have been or are expected to be filed and paid are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2025

reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.

Funds may file tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in certain European Union countries ("EU reclaims") and may continue to make such filings when it is determined to be in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. These filings are subject to various administrative proceedings by the local jurisdictions' tax authorities within the European Union, as well as a number of related judicial proceedings. EU reclaims are recognized by a Fund when deemed more likely than not to be collected, and are reflected as tax reclaims in the Statements of Operations. Any related receivable is reflected as tax reclaims receivable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Under certain circumstances, and to the extent that EU reclaims recovered by a Fund were previously passed-through as foreign tax credits to its U.S. taxable shareholders, a Fund may enter into closing agreements with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). Doing so will enable a Fund to quantify and remit its tax liability related to any recoveries (on behalf of its shareholders). Accordingly, estimated charges, if any, related to a Fund's closing agreement liability are presented as tax reclaim expenses in the Statements of Operations and its estimated closing agreement liability is presented as tax reclaim payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The actual closing agreement payment to the IRS may differ from the estimate and that difference may be material.

**e. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.** Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as distributions in excess of income and/or capital gain, return of capital distributions received, capital gain distribution received, redemptions in-kind and net operating losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions, net investment income and net realized gains will result in reclassifications to capital accounts reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees' fees, return of capital distributions received, capital gain distribution received and wash sales. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Funds' fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. Distributions from net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains are reported as distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

---

**f. Equity-Linked Notes.** Quality Income ETF may invest in equity-linked notes ("ELNs"). ELNs are hybrid instruments which combine both debt and equity characteristics into a single note form. ELN values are linked to the performance of an underlying index or a specific security. ELNs are unsecured debt obligations of an issuer and may not be publicly listed or traded on an exchange. ELNs have a coupon which is accrued and recorded as interest income on the Fund's Statement of Operations. The risk of investing in ELNs depends on the principal protection offered. Some ELNs may guarantee total principal or partial principal while others may not provide any guarantee of principal. The maturity value may also be impacted to the extent of any limit on the return value as part of the note structure. ELNs are subject to counterparty credit risk in that issuers and/or counterparties may fail to make payments when due or default completely, which could result in a loss of all or part of the Fund's investment. ELNs outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in the Fund's Portfolio of Investments.

**g. Repurchase Agreements.** Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which each Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is each Fund's policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of December 31, 2025, each Fund, as applicable, had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

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

**3. Fair Value Measurements.** In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund's assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 — prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 — prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Funds' pricing policies have been approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are categorized in Level 1. Other investments for which an independent pricing service is utilized are categorized in Level 2. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Funds have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 2. All other investments, including broker-dealer bid prices for which the Funds do not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer, as well as investments fair valued by the valuation designee, are categorized in Level 3. All Level 2 and 3 securities are defined as being fair valued.

Under certain conditions and based upon specific facts and circumstances, the Fund's valuation designee may determine that a fair valuation should be made for portfolio investment(s). These valuation designee fair valuations will be based upon a significant amount of Level 3 inputs.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of December 31, 2025, at value:

Natixis Advisors has given a binding undertaking to the Funds to waive management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the Funds' operating expenses, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, organizational and extraordinary expenses such as litigation and indemnification expenses. These undertakings are in effect until April 30, 2028, may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Funds' Board of Trustees, and are reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, is net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to these undertakings.

Sayles Funds Trusts, the Trusts and Natixis Advisors, each Fund pays Natixis Advisors monthly its *pro rata* portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0540% of the first $15 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Trusts, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion, 0.0275% of the next $30 billion and 0.0225% of such assets in excess of $90 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Trusts of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis.

**c. Trustees Fees and Expenses.** The Trusts do not pay any compensation directly to their officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distribution, Natixis Investment Managers, LLC or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $410,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that he attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $235,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, the Chairperson of the Contract Review Committee and the Chairperson of the Audit Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $30,000. The Chairperson of the Governance Committee receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $20,000. Each Contract Review Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Governance Committee member is compensated $2,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trusts based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.

A deferred compensation plan (the "Plan") is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. The value of a participating Trustee's deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trusts as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants' deferral accounts are allocated *pro rata* among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trusts and are normally reflected as Trustees' fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations. Deferred amounts remain in the funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees' fees in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Certain officers and employees of Natixis Advisors and affiliates are also officers and/or Trustees of the Trusts.

**d. Affiliated Ownership.** As of December 31, 2025, the percentage of Focused Growth ETF's net assets owned by affiliates is as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | Percentage of <br>Net Assets<br>|
| Loomis Sayles Growth Fund | 31.02<br> %<br>|

---

Investment activities of affiliated shareholders could have material impacts on the Fund.

**6. Line of Credit.** Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trusts, entered into a syndicated, revolving, committed, unsecured line of credit with State Street Bank as administrative agent. The aggregate revolving commitment amount is $575,000,000. Any one Fund may borrow up to $402,500,000 under the line of credit agreement (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $575,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund's investment restrictions and its contractual obligations under the line of credit. Interest is charged to the Funds based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, none of the Funds had borrowings under this agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**7. Risk.** The Funds have exposure to certain types of risk as summarized below.

**a. Authorized Participant Concentration Risk.** Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Funds. The Funds have a limited number of institutions that act as Authorized Participants, none of which are or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these institutions exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Funds and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units, Fund shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.

**b. Premium/Discount Risk.** Shares of the Funds are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices that may differ from their most recent NAV. The market value of the Funds' shares will fluctuate, in some cases materially, in response to changes in the Funds' NAV, the intraday value of the Funds' holdings, and the relative supply and demand for the Funds' shares on the exchange. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for shares may result in shares trading at a significant premium or discount to NAV and/or in a reduced liquidity of your investment. If a shareholder purchases shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses.

**c. Trading Issues Risk.** Trading in Fund shares on the NYSE Arca may be halted in certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the NYSE Arca necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met.

**d. Non-Diversified Risk.** Focused Growth ETF and Select ETF are non-diversified, which means that the Funds are not limited under the 1940 Act to a percentage of assets that it may invest in any one issuer. Because the Funds may invest in the securities of a limited

number of issuers, an investment in the Funds may involve a higher degree of risk than would be present in a diversified portfolio.

**e. Other.** Geopolitical events (such as trading halts, sanctions or wars) could increase volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets and adversely affect regional and global economies. These, and other related events, could significantly impact a Fund's performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even if the Fund does not have direct exposure to issuers in the country or countries involved.

**8. Capital Shares**. Shares of the Funds may be acquired or redeemed directly from the Funds by Authorized Participants only in aggregations of 10,000 shares ("Creation Units"), or multiples thereof. Each Authorized Participant enters into an Authorized Participant agreement with the Funds' Distributor.

A creation transaction order, which is subject to acceptance by ALPS, generally takes place when an Authorized Participant deposits into the Funds a designated portfolio of securities and/or cash (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) and a specified amount of cash approximating the holdings of the Funds in exchange for a specified number of Creation Units.

Similarly, shares can be redeemed only in Creation Units, generally for a designated portfolio of securities and/or cash (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) held by the Funds and a specified amount of cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable directly with the Funds.

The prices at which creations and redemptions occur are based on the next calculation of NAV after a creation or redemption order is received in an acceptable form under the Authorized Participant agreement. These prices may differ from the market price of the Fund's shares.

The Funds may impose a creation transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. Transaction fees are included in capital share transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Transactions in capital shares were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Boards of Trustees of Natixis ETF Trust and Natixis ETF Trust II and Shareholders of Natixis Gateway Quality Income ETF, Natixis Loomis Sayles Focused Growth ETF, and Natixis Vaughan Nelson Select ETF

***Opinions on the Financial Statements***

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Natixis Gateway Quality Income ETF (constituting Natixis ETF Trust), Loomis Sayles Focused Growth ETF and Natixis Vaughan Nelson Select ETF (constituting Natixis ETF Trust II) (hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2025, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

***Basis for Opinions***

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when a reply was not received from a broker, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

**CODE OF ETHICS PURSUANT TO SECTION 406 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY** 

**ACT OF 2002 FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS** 

**I.** **Covered Persons/Purpose of the Code** 

This Code of Ethics (this "Code") pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has been adopted by the registered investment companies (each a "Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds") listed on Exhibit A and applies to each Fund's Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer (the "Covered Persons," all covered persons are set forth in Exhibit B) for the purpose of promoting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between
personal and professional relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files
with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and in other public communications made by the registrant

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the
Code of violations of the Code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Person should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to conflicts of interest.

------

**II.** **Covered Persons Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest** 

**Overview.** A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Person's private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Person's, or a member of the Covered Person's family or household, receives improper personal benefits as a result of the Covered Person's position with the Fund.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Persons and the Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (including the regulations thereunder, the "1940 Act") and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (including the regulations thereunder, the "Investment Advisers Act"). For example, Covered Persons may not engage in certain transactions with the Fund because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Fund. The Funds and their investment advisers; subadvisers; distributors and administrators (each a "Service Provider" and, collectively, the "Service Providers") compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code. See also Section V of this code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Funds and their Service Providers of which the Covered Persons are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Persons will, in the normal course of their duties (whether for the Funds or for a Service Provider, or for each), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the Service Providers and the Funds. The participation of the Covered Persons in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationships between the Funds and their Service Providers and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Persons of their duties as officers of the Funds. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Funds' Boards of Trustees ("Boards") that the Covered Persons may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes and that such service, by itself, does not give rise to a conflict of interest.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not the subject of provisions of the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Persons should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Person should not be placed improperly before the interest of a Fund.

------

Each Covered Person must not:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• use his/her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or
financial reporting by a Fund whereby the Covered Person would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cause a Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Person
rather than the benefit the Fund; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• retaliate against any other Covered Person or any employee of the Funds or their Service Providers for reports
of potential violations that are made in good faith.

There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be approved by the Chief Legal Officer ("CLO") of the Fund (or, with respect to activities of the CLO if he/she is a Covered Person, by the President). These conflict of interest situations are listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• service on the board of directors or governing board of a publicly traded entity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• acceptance of any investment opportunity, gift, gratuity or other thing of more than nominal value from any
person or entity that does business, or desires to do business, with the Fund. This restriction shall not apply to (i) gifts from a single giver so long as their aggregate annual value does not exceed the equivalent of $100 or
(ii) attending business meals, business related conferences, sporting events and other entertainment events at the expense of a giver, so long as the expense is reasonable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any ownership interest in, or any consulting relationship with, any entities doing business with a Fund, other
than a Service Provider or an affiliate of a Service Provider. This restriction shall not apply to or otherwise limit the ownership of publicly traded securities so long as the Covered Person's ownership does not exceed more than 2% of the
outstanding securities of the relevant class; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by a Fund for
effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Person's employment with a Service Provider or its affiliate. This restriction shall not apply to or otherwise limit
(i) the ownership of publicly traded securities so long as the Covered Person's ownership does not exceed more than 2% of the particular class of security outstanding or (ii) the receipt by the Service Provider of research or other
benefits in exchange for "soft dollars".

------

**III.** **Disclosure and Compliance** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Each Covered Person should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to a
Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Each Covered Person should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about a Fund to
others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Fund's Board and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Each Covered Person should, to the extent appropriate within his/her area of responsibility, consult with
other officers and employees of the Funds and the adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public
communications made by the Funds; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• It is the responsibility of each Covered Person to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions
imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

**IV.** **Reporting and Accountability** 

Each Covered Person must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Person), affirm in writing to
the Funds that he/she has received, read, and understands the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• annually thereafter affirm to the Funds that he/she has complied with the requirements of the Code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• notify the CLO of the Funds promptly if he/she knows of any violation of this Code (with respect to violations
by the CLO if he/she is a Covered Person, the Covered Person shall report to the President). Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

The CLO of a Fund is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. However, any approvals or waivers other than those this Code states can be granted by the CLO, sought by the CLO or Covered Person will be considered by the relevant Fund's Audit Committee (the "Committee").

The Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the CLO will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported, which may include
the use of internal or external counsel, accountants or other personnel;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if, after such investigation, the CLO believes that no violation has occurred, the CLO is not required to take
any further action;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any matter that the CLO believes is a violation will be reported to the Committee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the Committee concurs that a violation has occurred, it will inform and make a recommendation to the Board,
which will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss
the Covered Person;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Committee will be authorized to grant waivers, as it deems appropriate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

**V.** **Other Policies and Procedure s** 

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds or the Funds' Service Providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Persons who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Funds and their Service Providers' codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and the Service Providers' more detailed compliance policies and procedures are separate requirements applying to the Covered Persons and others, and are not part of this Code.

**VI.** **Amendments** 

Any amendments to this Code with respect to a Fund, other than administrative amendments to Exhibits A and B, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Fund's Board, including a majority of independent trustees.

**VII.** **Confidentiality** 

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted by the Board.

------

**VIII.** **Internal Use** 

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
