Strategy Highlights
- A tactical and multi-asset portfolio that seeks to provide strong risk-adjusted income and total return through different parts of the market cycle
- The top-down asset allocation process emphasizes global cyclical analysis which can provide support in optimizing asset allocation and income
- Security selection decisions seek to take advantage of our best ideas from across the firm, leveraging Loomis Sayles’ expertise in bottom-up, fundamental research
- A disciplined and active risk management process is critical to the fund’s pursuit of its investment goal
- Under normal market conditions, the fund typically invests between 20-80% of its assets in fixed-income securities and between 30-70% in equity securities
- The fund is not required to allocate investments among asset classes in any fixed proportion and may invest up to 100% of assets in either equity securities or fixed-income securities
About Risk
- Asset allocation strategies do not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.
- Equity securities are volatile and can decline significantly in response to broad market and economic conditions.
- Fixed income securities may carry one or more of the following risks: credit, interest rate (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall), inflation and liquidity.
- Below investment grade fixed income securities may be subject to greater risks (including the risk of default) than other fixed income securities.
- Foreign and emerging market securities may be subject to greater political, economic, environmental, credit, currency and information risks. Foreign securities may be subject to higher volatility than U.S. securities, due to varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
- Real estate investing may be subject to risks including, but not limited to, declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trust and defaults by borrowers.
- Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) may trade less frequently than traditional investments such as equities, which may result in erratic price movement or difficulty in buying or selling. MLPs are subject to significant regulation and may be adversely affected by changes in the regulatory environment including the risk that an MLP could lose its tax status as a partnership.
- Derivatives involve risk of loss and may entail additional risks. Because derivatives depend on the performance of an underlying asset, they can be highly volatile and are subject to market and credit risks.
*The Fund’s investment goal is non-fundamental, which means it may be changed without shareholder approval. The Fund will provide 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders before changing the investment goal.
1 As of the most recent prospectus, the investment advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses once the expense cap of the fund has been exceeded. This arrangement is set to expire on 4/30/19. Transfer Agent Fee waivers for Class N are contractual and are set to expire on 4/30/19. When an expense cap has not been exceeded, the fund may have similar expense ratios and/or yields.
2The 30-day SEC yield is a standardized calculation, calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30-day period by the maximum offering price per share at the end of the period and annualizing the result. A subsidized 30-day SEC yield reflects the effect of fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The SEC yield is not based upon distributions of the fund and actual income distributions may be higher or lower than the 30-day SEC yield amounts. Unsubsidized 30-day SEC yield is calculated using the gross expenses of the fund. Gross expenses do not include any fee waivers or reimbursement.
The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the US investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis. Indexes are unmanaged and do not incure fees. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
