Effective at the close of business on May 31, 2019, Messrs. Robert Oosterkamp and Milton Low joined the portfolio management team, and Mr. Matthew Troxell no longer serves as portfolio manager of the Fund.

 

 

Investment Goal

The Fund seeks to provide investors with above-average income and long-term growth of capital.

 

 

Market Conditions

Real estate securities, as well as other securities, posted strong returns over the one-year period, led by global monetary easing and reduced political risks. Employment growth in the US remained solid throughout the period, and the unemployment rate reached a 50-year low of 3.5%. The Federal Reserve reversed course and made three 25-basis-point cuts in short-term interest rates. Meanwhile, the 10-year US Treasury yield declined 112 basis points to end the period at 1.51%.

At close of business on May 31, 2019, the Fund changed its name and investment strategy. The Fund continues to use the same investment approach it always has, but it is now applied to real estate securities globally. This gives us the flexibility to allocate assets to those geographic areas where we see the most attractive opportunities for investment.

Performance Results

For the 12 months ended January 31, 2020, Class Y shares of the AEW Global Focused Real Estate Fund returned 13.48% at net asset value. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index (Net), which returned 11.93%.

Explanation of Fund Performance

Positive stock selection and positive regional allocation drove the Fund’s outperformance. Stock selection was strongest in North America, neutral in Asia Pacific, and slightly negative in Europe. The portfolio benefited from an overweight to North America and underweight to Europe and Asia Pacific.

Among the individual securities, the largest contributors included US companies VICI Properties, Inc., Duke Realty Corporation, and Invitation Homes, Inc. VICI is a triple net lease gaming/casino REIT, and the company benefited from increased institutional investor interest in the casino space, specifically Blackstone’s $4.25 billion acquisition of the Bellagio from MGM. Duke Realty is an industrial REIT, and the company benefited from continued strength in e-commerce retailers and demand for so-called “last mile” warehouse space near

online customers. Invitation Homes is a single-family rental REIT, a sector that is also benefiting from strong demand due to a dearth of homes for sale.

The largest individual detractors included US regional mall company Simon Property Group, Inc., US industrial company Prologis, Inc. (PLD), and Hong Kong company Link Real Estate Investment Trust. Malls continued to be impacted by store closures, and even landlords with higher quality assets, such as Simon Property Group, faced increasing capital expenditure needs to backfill space. As a result, we moved from an overweight to underweight position in the name over the one-year period. Prologis reported solid performance results throughout the period and increased 2019 guidance. The company also announced it would acquire peer company Liberty Property Trust, which the portfolio did not hold. Overall, however, we prefer the relative valuations of Duke Realty Corporation, Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc., and Americold Realty Trust, Inc., and the portfolio’s overweight position in these industrial peers more than offset the detraction from the portfolio’s underweight position in Prologis and Liberty. Link owns parking, retail, and office properties across Hong Kong and mainland China, and investor concern regarding the economic impact of social unrest in Hong Kong weighed on the company’s share price. We quickly trimmed our overweight position, and the portfolio’s large underweight position to Hong Kong over the one-year period was a positive contributor.

Outlook

The coronavirus will have a negative impact on economic growth and a significant negative effect on some sectors such as hotels, airlines, and retail. Central banks around the world have taken action by cutting interest rates, and governments are likely to continue to announce stimulus packages. These actions are expected to support economic growth but also to avoid a credit crunch. Within real estate, however, we expect that the investment market will slow as investors will not travel to property inspections. Over time, we think that investment demand may improve as investors will continue to invest in safe yielding asset classes given that interest rates will be lower for longer and given that the gap between property yields and interest rates has widened. On the demand side, we expect that demand for retail and industrial/logistics space will be impacted as the flow of goods — especially from China and Italy — will temporarily slow. We are less concerned about the long-term effect on industrial/logistics as the sector has strong long-term fundamentals, but the impact on the already struggling retail sector could be more severe. The hotel sector is also heavily impacted as people travel less. Demand for office space will likely also slow temporarily.

In North America, the hotel sector has been hit hardest, and the outlook for 2020 was already weak before the virus. These stocks could be buys once the virus stops spreading, but until then we remain underweight. Retail has also been very weak. At some point, lower oil prices and lower interest rates may be a catalyst for improved consumer spending, but near-term concerns regarding a weakening economy only add to the existing problems in the retail sector, and we remain underweight. Defensive sectors (Storage, Manufactured Housing) and sectors with structural growth stories (Data Centers, Single-Family Rental) are outperforming.

In Europe, Switzerland is outperforming due to investor flows into safe haven countries, while the Netherlands and Italy have declined the most, primarily due to retail stocks. During the correction, we added a new position to the portfolio, Alstria Office REIT (German offices), as valuations began to look attractive.

In Asia Pacific, Australia is underperforming the most given the country’s larger dependence on Chinese export demand. Due to the announcement of the virus in January, we had already reduced our hotel exposure in Japan. We were originally overweight the sector, as this is the Olympic year for Tokyo and the hospitality sector should benefit from the event. The Asia Pacific portfolio remains underweight hotels and retail in all markets, which have both underperformed year-to-date.

The Fund continues to be well positioned as fear and uncertainty spreads along with the virus. We continue to watch for opportunities to rotate into names that may have sold off more than warranted and also those we feel could rebound more quickly once the negative sentiment troughs. Overall, if the impact of the coronavirus proves to be temporary, the current selloff may provide a good entry point into REITs.

Class C share performance assumes a 1.00% CDSC applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase.

Effective at the close of business on May 31, 2019, the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index (Net) replaced the MSCI US REIT Index as the Fund’s primary benchmark because the Fund believes the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index (Net), an index designed to track the performance of listed real estate companies and REITs (real estate investment trust) worldwide, is a more appropriate comparison to the Fund’s investment strategies.

 

3

MSCI US REIT Index is an unmanaged index that is composed of the most actively traded equity REIT securities.

For certain periods, Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, without which performance would have been lower.

Expense ratios are as shown in the Fund’s prospectus in effect as of the date of this report. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report under Ratios to Average Net Assets. Net expenses reflect contractual expense limitations set to expire on 5/31/20. When a Fund’s expenses are below the limitation, gross and net expense ratios will be the same. See Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information about the Fund’s expense limitations.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the Fund’s prospectus. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The first line in the table of each class of Fund shares shows the actual account values and actual Fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from August 1, 2019 through January 31, 2020. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your class.

The second line in the table of each class of Fund shares provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs, such as sales charges. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

1.  Organization.  Natixis Funds Trust IV (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. Information presented in this report pertains to AEW Global Focused Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”).

At close of business on May 31, 2019, the Fund changed its name and investment strategy.

The Fund is a diversified investment company.

The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares for ten years (at which point they automatically convert to Class A shares) and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class N and Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class N shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $1,000,000. Class Y shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $100,000. Certain categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amounts for Class N and Class Y as outlined in the Fund’s prospectus.

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 Natixis ETF Trust. Expenses of the Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (such as the Rule 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A and Class C), and transfer agent fees are borne collectively for Class A, Class C and Class Y and individually for Class N. In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of the Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies.  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund’s 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. 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 Fund’s financial statements.

a.  Valuation.  Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:

Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) 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 an independent 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) 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 an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent 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. Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value 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 its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, 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 securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

As of January 31, 2020, securities held by Fund were fair valued as follows:

 

Equity
securities
1

  

Percentage of

Net Assets

$44,564,541

   34.4%

 

1 

Certain foreign equity securities were fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees as events occurring after the close of the foreign market were believed to materially affect the value of those securities.

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 the trade date. Dividend income (including income reinvested) and foreign withholding tax, if applicable, is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. 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. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in dividends received from the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Fund after the end of the calendar year; accordingly, the Fund estimates these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Fund after the end of the calendar year. Estimates for the period from January 1 through January 31, 2020 are included in the Statement of Operations. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class-specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.

c.  Foreign Currency Translation.  The books and records of the Fund 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 on the Fund’s books 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 Statement of Operations. For federal income tax purposes, net realized foreign exchange gains or losses are characterized as ordinary income, and may, if the Fund has net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Fund.

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 Statement 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 Fund 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 Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 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 the Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of January 31, 2020 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next twelve months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Fund. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

The 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 Statement of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes where reclaims have been or will be filed are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statement 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 the Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.

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 annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. When the Fund identifies the character of distributions paid by REITs in the previous calendar year, certain distributions to Fund shareholders may be redesignated as capital gain distributions or, if in excess of taxable income, as a return of capital. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as return of capital distributions received. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to foreign currency gains and losses, distribution re-designations, passive foreign investment company adjustments and return of capital and capital gain distributions received will result in reclassifications to the capital accounts reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, passive foreign investment company adjustments 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 Fund’s fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be 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 January 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

 

2020 Distributions Paid From:

     2019 Distributions Paid From:

$5,390,847    $ 13,940,704      $ 19,331,551      $ 2,362,427      $ 8,653,741      $ 11,016,168  

Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are consolidated and reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets as Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains expressed in per-share amounts, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are separately stated and reported within the Financial Highlights.

As of January 31, 2020, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

 

Undistributed ordinary income

   $ 182,917  

Undistributed long-term capital gains

     1,557,625  
  

 

 

 

Total undistributed earnings

     1,740,542  
  

 

 

 

Unrealized appreciation

     13,255,536  
  

 

 

 

Total accumulated earnings

   $ 14,996,078  
  

 

 

 

As of January 31, 2020, the tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a federal tax basis were as follows:

 

Federal tax cost

   $ 114,969,346  
  

 

 

 

Gross tax appreciation

   $ 15,156,013  

Gross tax depreciation

     (1,899,300
  

 

 

 

Net tax appreciation

   $ 13,256,713  
  

 

 

 

The difference between these amounts and those reported in the components of distributable earnings is primarily attributable to foreign currency mark-to-market.

f.  Repurchase Agreements.  The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the 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

 

|  24

January 31, 2020

 

the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of January 31, 2020, the Fund had an investment in a repurchase agreement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

g.  Securities Lending.  The Fund has entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Fund, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. Governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Fund invests cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Fund and State Street Bank as lending agent.

For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Fund did not loan securities under this agreement.

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

i.  New Accounting Pronouncement.  In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The update introduces new fair value disclosure requirements, eliminates some prior fair value disclosure requirements, and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has evaluated the impact of the

adoption of ASU 2018-13 and will incorporate required disclosure updates in the Fund’s semiannual financial statements as of July 31, 2020.

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

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

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

 

   

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 the 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 following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of January 31, 2020, at value:

For the year ended January 31, 2020, there were no transfers among Levels 1, 2 and 3.

4.  Purchases and Sales of Securities.  For the year ended January 31, 2020, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) were $130,288,294 and $137,458,499 respectively.

5.  Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

a.  Management Fees.  AEW Capital Management, L.P. (“AEW”) serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. AEW is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis Investment Managers, LLC (“Natixis”), which is part of Natixis Investment Managers, an international asset management group based in Paris, France. Under the terms of the management agreement, the Fund pays a management fee at the annual rate of 0.75%, calculated daily and payable monthly, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Prior to June 1, 2019, the Fund paid a management fee at the annual rate of 0.80% of the first $500 million of the Fund’s average daily net assets and 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $500 million, calculated daily and payable monthly.

AEW has given a binding undertaking to the Fund to waive management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the Fund’s operating expenses, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, organizational and extraordinary expenses such as litigation and indemnification expenses. This undertaking is in effect until May 31, 2020, may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, and is reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, is net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to these undertakings. Waivers/reimbursements that exceed management fees payable are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivable from investment adviser.

For the period June 1, 2019 to January 31, 2020, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreement were as follows:

 

Expense Limit as a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets

 

Class A

  

Class C

    

Class N

    

Class Y

 
1.15%      1.90%        0.85%        0.90%  

Prior to June 1, 2019, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreement were as follows:

AEW shall be permitted to recover expenses it has borne under the expense limitation agreement (whether through waiver of its management fees or otherwise) on a class by class basis in later periods to the extent the annual operating expenses of a class fall below a class’ expense limits, provided, however, that a class is not obligated to pay such waived/reimbursed fees or expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed.

No expenses were recovered during the year ended January 31, 2020 under the terms of the expense limitation agreement.

b.  Service and Distribution Fees.  Natixis Distribution, L.P. (“Natixis Distribution”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis, has entered into a distribution agreement with the Trust. Pursuant to this agreement, Natixis Distribution serves as principal underwriter of the Fund.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Trust has adopted a Service Plan relating to the Fund’s Class A shares (the “Class A Plan”) and a Distribution and Service Plan relating to the Fund’s Class C shares (the “Class C Plan”).

Under the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Natixis Distribution a monthly service fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class A shares, as reimbursement for expenses incurred by Natixis Distribution in providing personal services to investors in Class A shares and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

Under the Class C Plan, the Fund pays Natixis Distribution a monthly service fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class C shares, as compensation for services provided by Natixis Distribution in providing personal services to investors in Class C shares and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

Also under the Class C Plan, the Fund pays Natixis Distribution a monthly distribution fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class C shares, as compensation for services provided by Natixis Distribution in connection with the marketing or sale of Class C shares.

c.  Administrative Fees.  Natixis Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”) provides certain administrative services for the Fund and contracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator. Natixis Advisors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis. Pursuant to an agreement among Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, Natixis ETF Trust and Natixis Advisors, effective July 1, 2019, the 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 Natixis ETF Trust, 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 Natixis ETF Trust of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis.

Prior to July 1, 2019, the Fund paid Natixis Advisors monthly its pro rata portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0575% of the first $15 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust, 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 Natixis ETF Trust of $10 million.

Effective October 1, 2018, State Street Bank agreed to reduce the fees it receives from Natixis Advisors for serving as sub-administrator to the Fund. Also, effective October 1, 2018, Natixis Advisors agreed to voluntarily waive fees paid by the Fund in an amount equal to the reduction in sub-administrative fees discussed above. The waiver was in effect through June 30, 2019.

For the year ended January 31, 2020, the administrative fees were as follows:

 

Gross

d.  Sub-Transfer Agent Fees.  Natixis Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Fund and has agreed to

 

29  |


Table of Contents

January 31, 2020

 

compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Fund primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Fund. These services would have been provided by the Fund’s transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Fund’s transfer agent. Accordingly, the Fund has agreed to reimburse Natixis Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to Natixis Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Fund’s transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.

For the year ended January 31, 2020, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations) for the Fund were $173,064.

As of January 31, 2020, the Fund owes Natixis Distribution $2,806 in reimbursements for sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as payable to distributor).

Sub-transfer agent fees attributable to Class A, Class C and Class Y are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of those classes.

e.  Commissions.  Commissions (including CDSCs) on Fund shares retained by Natixis Distribution during the year ended January 31, 2020 amounted to $1,927.

f.  Trustees Fees and Expenses.  The Trust does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distribution, Natixis or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $369,000. 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 $199,000. 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 $20,000. 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. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust 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.

Prior to January 1, 2020, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $360,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $190,000, and the chairperson of the Governance Committee received an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $15,000. All other Trustee fees remained unchanged.

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. 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 Trust 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 Trust, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Fund under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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

g. Reimbursement of Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses. Natixis Advisors has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Fund to reimburse any and all transfer agency expenses for the Fund’s Class N shares. This undertaking is in effect through May 31, 2020 and is not subject to recovery under the expense limitation agreement described above.

For the year ended January 31, 2020, Natixis Advisors reimbursed the Fund $1,026 for transfer agency expenses related to Class N shares.

h.  Payment by Affiliates.  For the year ended January 31, 2020, AEW and Natixis reimbursed the Fund $94,912 for transaction costs incurred in conjunction with a strategy change (see Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements). This amount is included in realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

6.  Class-Specific Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses.  Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class A, Class C and Class Y are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of those classes. Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class N are allocated to Class N.

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

January 31, 2020

 

For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Fund incurred the following class-specific transfer agent fees and expenses (including sub-transfer agent fees, where applicable):

 

    

Class A

    

Class C

    

Class N

    

Class Y

 

Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses

   $ 66,017      $ 3,094      $ 1,026      $ 137,949  

7.  Line of Credit.  The Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust, entered into a $400,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Any one Fund may borrow up to $350,000,000 under the line of credit agreement (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $400,000,000 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. The Funds paid an arrangement fee, an upfront fee, and certain other legal fees in connection with the line of credit agreement, which are being amortized over a period of 364 days and are reflected in legal fees and/or miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. The unamortized balance is reflected as prepaid expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Fund had no borrowings under this agreement.

8.  Payable to Custodian Bank.  The Fund’s custodian bank provides overdraft protection to the Fund in the event of a cash shortfall. Cash overdrafts bear interest at various rates depending on the type of currency overdrawn. At January 31, 2020, the Fund had payables, at value, of $171,251 to the custodian bank for foreign currency overdrafts that bear interest at a rate per annum equal to a flat rate of 5.25%.

9.  Concentration of Risk.  The Fund concentrates its investments in real estate securities, including REITs. A fund with a concentrated portfolio is vulnerable to the risks of the industry in which it invests and is subject to greater risks and market fluctuations than funds investing in a broader range of industries. Real estate securities are susceptible to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate such as declining property values, increases in property taxes, operating expenses, interest rates or competition, zoning changes and losses from casualty and condemnation.

The Fund’s investments in foreign securities may be subject to greater political, economic, environmental, credit/counterparty and information risks. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities also are subject to foreign currency fluctuations and other foreign currency-related risks. Foreign securities may be subject to higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity.

10.  Concentration of Ownership.  From time to time, a Fund may have a concentration of one or more accounts constituting a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities by holders of such accounts could have material impacts on the Fund. As of January 31, 2020, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Fund had accounts representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares. The number of such accounts, based on accounts that represent more than 5% of an individual class of shares, and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such holdings were as follows:

 

Number of 5%
Account Holders

  

Percentage of
Ownership

3    27.92%

Omnibus shareholder accounts for which Natixis Advisors understands that the intermediary has discretion over the underlying shareholder accounts or investment models where a shareholder account may be invested for a non-discretionary customer are included in the table above. For other omnibus accounts, the Fund does not have information on the individual shareholder accounts underlying the omnibus accounts; therefore, there could be other 5% shareholders in addition to those disclosed in the table above.

11.  Capital Shares.  The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest without par value. Transactions in capital shares were as follows:

12.  Subsequent Events.  Subsequent to January 31, 2020, global markets have experienced periods of high volatility triggered by the rapidly evolving public health emergency known as coronavirus (“COVID-19”). As the situation continues to unfold, the extent and duration of the impact that the COVID-19 outbreak may have on financial markets and the economy as a whole remains highly uncertain. If the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on financial markets and the economy continue for an extended period of time, the Funds’ future financial and investment results may be adversely affected.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of Natixis Funds Trust IV and Shareholders of AEW Global Focused Real Estate Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of AEW Global Focused Real Estate Fund (one of the funds constituting Natixis Funds Trust IV, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of January 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended January 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended January 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended January 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s 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 Fund 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 January 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies

Investment Goal

Each Fund seeks the highest total return consistent with its current asset allocation.

 

 

Market Conditions

Volatility continued in the markets in 2019. The combination of US-China trade wars, changing monetary stimulus, global growth concerns, volatile oil prices, and lower long-term bond prices drove volatility in stocks but ultimately lifted them by the end of the year. Risk assets, and stocks in particular, have benefitted from the low interest rates and easy monetary policy that have been in place since 2008. When the Federal Reserve (Fed) began raising rates in 2015, financial conditions began to grow less favorable. However, in 2019, the Fed reversed course and lowered rates three times. This helped to ease investors’ worry about the impact of higher rates and tighter financial conditions on company fundamentals.

Overall, both US and foreign stocks gained in the 12 months ending January 31, 2020. The year started slowly through May, but volatility started to creep back into the market by late summer as investors’ concern continued about the global impact of trade tensions between the US and China. However, as the prospect of resolution grew, equities picked up steam again, leading to all-time highs into December and the best calendar year performance in recent years. The top performing regions were the US, Japan and Europe, while the emerging markets were positive but trailed for the period. At the very end of the period, markets came off of their highs as uncertainty grew with the spread of the corona virus.

On the bond front, despite the strong demand for stocks, long-term bonds appreciated, causing yields on 10-year Treasuries to fall over 1.1% to about 1.5% at the end of the period. This movement in bond yields paralleled the actions of the Fed as they eased from a recent high of 2.5% to 1.75% on the Federal Funds Target Rate.

 

 

Performance Results

While the Natixis Sustainable Future Funds gained for the 12-month period ended January 31, 2020, they also outperformed their benchmarks, except for the Natixis Sustainable Future 2040 Fund, which underperformed its benchmark. This table shows performance for each Fund for the year ended January 31, 2020 compared to its benchmark in the S&P Target Date® Index Series.

The S&P Target Date® Index Series consists of multi-asset class indices, each corresponding to a specific target retirement date. The asset allocation for each index is determined through an annual survey of target date fund groups with a minimum asset threshold of $100 million. The various asset class exposures of the Indices may include equities, fixed income, REITs, and commodities depending on the allocations reported in the survey. Index returns are calculated daily. You may not invest directly in an index.

 

 

Explanation of Fund Performance

The Funds are diversified across thirteen US and international allocations. Eight of the allocations follow a sustainable investing approach, selecting investments based on ESG criteria. ESG stands for environmental, social and governance, also known as sustainable or socially responsible investing. Two of the allocations invest in US companies and investments are reviewed for ESG criteria. The remaining two allocations invest primarily in US government and agency securities.

The Funds added three new segments and stopped allocating to one in April, enhancing diversification through dedicated access to specific asset classes.

 

   

Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Segment invests in US and international companies that relate to sustainable development themes and which Mirova believes adhere to ESG practices, have strong fundamentals, and offer attractive valuations. (no longer allocated as of April, 2019)

 

   

Mirova International Sustainable Equity Fund invests in non-US companies that relate to sustainable development themes and adhere to ESG practices, have strong fundamentals, and offer attractive valuations.

 

   

Mirova Carbon Neutral U.S. Equity Segment provides broad exposure to the S&P 500® Index, but factors carbon neutrality into its security selection.

 

   

Mirova Global Green Bond Fund focuses on investment-grade bonds issued to finance projects with a positive environmental impact.

 

   

AIA U.S. Large Cap Value ESG Segment maintains an ESG focus to investing in US large-cap stocks, with a value bias.

 

   

AIA U.S. Small/Mid Cap ESG Segment maintains an ESG focus to investing in US small- and mid-cap stocks.

 

   

AIA International Developed Markets Equity ESG Segment maintains an ESG focus to investing in international stocks from the developed markets.

 

   

AIA Emerging Markets ESG Segment maintains an ESG focus to investing in emerging market stocks.

 

   

Harris Associates Large Cap Value Segment invests in mid-sized and large US companies that are valued at a discount to intrinsic value. (Added April, 2019)

 

   

Loomis Sayles All Cap Growth Segment invests in US companies across all market capitalizations focusing on quality, growth potential and valuations. (Added April, 2019)

 

   

Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund invests primarily in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPs”) to provide income and hedge against inflation.

 

   

Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund provides ballast to help minimize volatility and losses.

 

   

Loomis Sayles Core Fixed Income Segment is a benchmark aware core bond portfolio that combines bottom-up security selection with top-down macro strategy. Seeks to outperform the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index while providing strong risk adjusted returns. (Added April, 2019)

Both the Funds’ fixed income and equity allocations posted positive absolute returns and added to overall performance for the 12 months ending January 31, 2020. The benchmarks mentioned below are specific to each segment or Fund, as applicable.

The Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Segment outpaced its benchmark, the MSCI World Index (Net)1. Strong stock picking within the healthcare, industrials, materials, financials and information technology sectors was the largest contributor. This was partially offset by security selection in the communication services sector.

The Mirova International Sustainable Equity Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net)2. Strong security selection within the information technology, industrials and utilities sectors, coupled with an overweight position to the best performing information technology sector, were the largest contributors. An underweight position in energy, the worst performing sector, also contributed. This was partially offset by security selection in the healthcare, materials and consumer staples sectors.

NATIXIS SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FUNDS®

 

 

The Mirova Carbon Neutral U.S. Equity Segment underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index3. Security selection within the information technology, healthcare, consumer discretionary and financials sectors was the largest detractor. This was partially offset by an underweight position to energy, the worst performing sector, and strong security selection in the industrials and utilities sectors.

The Mirova Global Green Bond Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI Green Bond Index4. Currency hedging was the largest detractor, specifically hedging the Fund’s Euro exposure back to USD, as the dollar strengthened vs. the Euro for the period.

The AIA U.S. Large Cap Value ESG Segment underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500® Value Index5. An underweight allocation to information technology, the best performing sector, was the largest detractor. Security selection within the financials, real estate and communication services sectors also detracted. This was partially offset by strong stock selection in the materials and utilities sectors.

The AIA U.S. Small/Mid Cap ESG Segment outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 1000® Index6. Strong security selection within the healthcare, consumer discretionary, real estate and materials sectors was the primary contributor. This was partially offset by security selection in the financials and information technology sectors.

The AIA International Developed Markets Equity ESG Segment outperformed its benchmark, The MSCI EAFE Index (Net)2. Strong security selection within the consumer discretionary, industrials and financials sectors was the primary contributor. This was partially offset by stock picking in the real estate sector.

The AIA Emerging Markets ESG Segment outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index7. Strong security selection within the industrials, communication services and utilities sectors was the primary contributor. This was partially offset by stock picking in the financials, materials and energy sectors.

The Harris Associates Large Cap Value Segment underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index3. Security selection in the information technology, energy, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors was the largest detractor. This was partially offset by strong stock selection in the financials and communication services sectors. An underweight to materials also positively contributed.

The Loomis Sayles All Cap Growth Segment underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Growth Index8. Security selection in the information technology, consumer discretionary, healthcare and industrials sectors was the largest detractor. This was partially offset by strong stock picking in the financials and communication services sectors.

The Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-5 Year Government Bond Index9. An out-of-benchmark allocation to agency pass through securities and agency CMOs was the largest detractor. Yield curve positioning within those sectors, specifically being short on the curve, also detracted.

The Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index10. Select Treasury positions slightly detracted. Inflation expectations remained dampened throughout most of 2019 due to continued easing from global central banks.

The Loomis Sayles Core Fixed Income Segment outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index11. The strategy’s overweight position to investment grade corporate credit positively contributed. Strong security selection in the technology, REITs, insurance and consumer cyclical sectors was also additive.

The allocations for each Fund during the period approximated the amounts shown in the charts on pages 4-21.

Covid-19 Pandemic

The recent overall impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak on the financial markets and the performance of the Funds’ investments has been significant. The potential duration and continued impact of COVID-19 on the financial markets and the overall economy are uncertain. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, the Funds’ future financial and investment results may be adversely affected.

1

The S&P Target Date® Index Series consists of multi-asset class indices, each corresponding to a specific target retirement date. The asset allocation for each index is determined through an annual survey of target date fund groups with a minimum asset threshold of $100 million. The various asset class exposures of the Indices may include equities, fixed income, REITs, and commodities depending on the allocations reported in the survey. Index returns are calculated daily. You may not invest directly in an index.

 

2

Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower.

 

3

Expense ratios are as shown in the Fund’s prospectus in effect as of the date of this report and include the expenses of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report under Ratios to Average Net Assets. Net expenses reflect contractual expense limitations set to expire on 5/31/20. When a Fund’s expenses are below the limitation, gross and net expense ratios will be the same. See Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information about the Fund’s expense limitations.

 

4

Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total returns reflected above are different from the total returns reported in the financial highlights. The returns presented in the table above are what an investor would have actually experienced.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the Fund’s prospectus. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The first line in the table of each class of Fund shares shows the actual account values and actual Fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from August 1, 2019 through January 31, 2020. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your class.

The second line in the table of each class of Fund shares provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs, such as sales charges. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (after waiver/reimbursement) of 0.29%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (184), divided by 365 (to reflect the half-year period). Expense ratios do not include the expenses of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. The annualized expense ratios, as stated in the fee table of the Prospectus, may differ from the expense ratios disclosed in this report.

1.  Organization.  Natixis Funds Trust IV (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:

Natixis Funds Trust IV:

Natixis Sustainable Future 2015 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2015 Fund”)

Natixis Sustainable Future 2020 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2020 Fund”)

Natixis Sustainable Future 2025 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2025 Fund”)

Natixis Sustainable Future 2030 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2030 Fund”)

Natixis Sustainable Future 2035 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2035 Fund”)

Natixis Sustainable Future 2040 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2040 Fund”)

Natixis Sustainable Future 2045 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2045 Fund”)

Natixis Sustainable Future 2050 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2050 Fund”)

Natixis Sustainable Future 2055 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2055 Fund”)

Natixis Sustainable Future 2060 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2060 Fund”)

Each Fund is a diversified investment company.

Each Fund offers Class N shares. Class N shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a contingent deferred sales charge or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class N shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $1,000,000. Certain categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amounts for Class N as outlined in the Funds’ prospectus.

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 Natixis ETF Trust.

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. 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.  Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser or sub-adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser or sub-adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:

Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) 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 an independent 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) 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 an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent 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. Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Mutual funds are valued at net asset value.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds may also value securities and other investments at fair value 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 its securities or other investments, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, 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 securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities 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 the trade date. Dividend income (including income reinvested) and foreign withholding tax, if applicable, is 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. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium, if applicable. 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 on the Funds’ books 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 Trust treats 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, 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 January 31, 2020 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next twelve months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

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 eligible to be reclaimed. 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 will be filed 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 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.

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 paydown gains and losses, premium amortization, distribution re-designations and distributions received from underlying funds. 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, wash sales and premium amortization. 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 short-term capital gains are considered to be 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 January 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are consolidated and reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains expressed in per-share amounts, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are separately stated and reported within the Financial Highlights.

f.  Indemnifications.  Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its 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.

g.  New Accounting Pronouncement.  In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The update introduces new fair value disclosure requirements, eliminates some prior fair value disclosure requirements, and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has evaluated the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-13 and will incorporate required disclosure updates in the Funds’ semiannual financial statements as of July 31, 2020.

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:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

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

 

   

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.

g.  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.  Each Fund will indirectly realize its pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. These fees and expenses are reflected in the valuation of the underlying funds.

6.  Line of Credit.  Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust, entered into a $400,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Any one Fund may borrow up to $350,000,000 under the line of credit agreement (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $400,000,000 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. The Funds paid an arrangement fee, an upfront fee, and certain other legal fees in connection with the line of credit agreement, which are being amortized over a period of 364 days and are reflected in legal fees and/or miscellaneous expenses on the Statements of Operations. The unamortized balance is reflected as prepaid expenses on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

For the year ended January 31, 2020, none of the Funds had borrowings under these agreements.

7.  Payable to Custodian Bank.  The Funds’ custodian bank, State Street Bank, provides overdraft protection to the Funds in the event of a cash shortfall. Cash overdrafts bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 2.00%. At January 31, 2020, the Funds had payables to the custodian bank for overdrafts, as follows:

     15,001  

Sustainable Future 2060 Fund

     75,281  

8.  Concentration of Ownership.  From time to time, a Fund may have a concentration of one or more accounts constituting a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities by holders of such accounts could have material impacts on the Fund. As of January 31, 2020, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Funds had accounts representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Funds’ total outstanding shares. The number of such accounts, based on accounts that represent more than 5% of an individual class of shares, and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such holdings were as follows:

Omnibus shareholder accounts for which Natixis Advisors understands that the intermediary has discretion over the underlying shareholder accounts or investment models where a shareholder account may be invested for a non-discretionary customer are included in the table above. For other omnibus accounts, the Fund does not have information on the individual shareholder accounts underlying the omnibus accounts; therefore, there could be other 5% shareholders in addition to those disclosed in the table above.

January 31, 2020

 

10.  Subsequent Events.  Subsequent to January 31, 2020, global markets have experienced periods of high volatility triggered by the rapidly evolving public health emergency known as coronavirus (“COVID-19”). As the situation continues to unfold, the extent and duration of the impact that the COVID-19 outbreak may have on financial markets and the economy as a whole remains highly uncertain. If the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on financial markets and the economy continue for an extended period of time, the Funds’ future financial and investment results may be adversely affected.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments of Natixis Sustainable Future 2015 Fund, Natixis Sustainable Future 2020 Fund, Natixis Sustainable Future 2025 Fund, Natixis Sustainable Future 2030 Fund, Natixis Sustainable Future 2035 Fund, Natixis Sustainable Future 2040 Fund, Natixis Sustainable Future 2045 Fund, Natixis Sustainable Future 2050 Fund, Natixis Sustainable Future 2055 Fund and Natixis Sustainable Future 2060 Fund (ten of the funds constituting Natixis Funds Trust IV, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of January 31, 2020, the related statements of operations for the year ended January 31, 2020, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2020 and for the period February 28, 2017 (commencement of operations) through January 31, 2018 (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 January 31, 2020, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2020 and each of the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2020 and for the period February 28, 2017 (commencement of operations) through January 31, 2018 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 January 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers: when replies were not received from brokers; 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:

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

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

Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

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

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.

-2-

Each Covered Person must not:

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;

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

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:

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

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;

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

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".

-3-

III.Disclosure and Compliance

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

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;

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

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:

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;

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

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:

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;

-4-

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

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

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;

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

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

V.Other Policies and Procedures

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.

-5-

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.
