Strategy Highlights

  • Pursuit of high total return through a flexible, bottom-up credit selection approach that allows the managers to seek out investment opportunities across global bond markets.
  • To enhance yield through a strategic yet opportunistic approach by taking advantage of market volatility to build positions.
  • Offering flexible credit and duration positioning designed to enhance yield as a complement to core fixed income.
  • Offers access to the renowned research and experienced portfolio management capabilities of Loomis Sayles.

Investment Strategy

  • Management team seeks to identify undervalued bonds with favorable current yields and strong prospects for price appreciation.
  • Management team focuses on the fundamental strength and value of each issuer, searching for value across a broad spectrum of opportunities.
  • The team maintains a long-term focus on the intrinsic value of each security at maturity, not the next quarter, and concentrates on total return – income plus capital gains.
  • Investment decisions are based on extensive proprietary research into the credit strength of issuers, with interest rates and market factors as important, but secondary, considerations.
  • Invests primarily in investment-grade, fixed income securities but may invest up to 25% of assets in fixed income securities rated below investment grade.

About Risk

  • Fixed Income Securities Risk: Fixed income securities may carry one or more of the following risks: credit, interest rate (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall), inflation and liquidity.
  • Foreign and Emerging Market Securities Risk: Foreign and emerging market securities may be subject to greater political, economic, environmental, credit, currency and information risks. Foreign securities may be subject to higher volatility than US securities, due to varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
  • Below Investment Grade Securities Risk: Below investment grade fixed income securities may be subject to greater risks (including the risk of default) than other fixed income securities.
  • Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are subject to the risks of the mortgages and assets underlying the securities. Other related risks include prepayment risk, which is the risk that the securities may be prepaid, potentially resulting in the reinvestment of the prepaid amounts into securities with lower yields.
  • Derivatives Risk: Derivatives involve risk of loss and may entail additional risks. Because derivatives depend on the performance of an underlying asset, they can be highly volatile and are subject to market and credit risks.
  • ETF General Risk: Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, and will fluctuate in market value. Unlike mutual funds, ETF shares are not individually redeemable directly with the Fund, and are bought and sold on the secondary market at market price, which may be higher or lower than the ETF’s net asset value (NAV). Transactions in shares of ETFs will result in brokerage commissions, which will reduce returns.
  • Active ETF: Unlike typical exchange-traded funds, there are no indexes that the Fund attempts to track or replicate. Thus, the ability of the Fund to achieve its objectives will depend on the effectiveness of the portfolio manager. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.
  • New Fund Risk: As a new fund, there is a limited operating history and there can be no assurance it will grow to an economically viable size, in which case it may cease operations and require investors to liquidate or transfer their investments.

Disclosures

Investing involves risk, including loss of principal.

The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the US investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis. Indices are unmanaged. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Total return and value will vary and you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any.

Beginning 06/12/2025 market price returns are calculated based on the Primary Exchange Official Close Price and account for distributions from the fund. Prior to 06/12/2025, market price returns were calculated based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, when the NAV is normally calculated for ETFs and accounted for distributions from the fund.

Before investing, consider the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Please visit loomissayles.com or call us at 800-633-3330 for a prospectus or a summary prospectus containing this and other information. Read it carefully.

1 This arrangement is set to expire on 1/31/29. When an expense limit has not been exceeded, the fund may have similar expense ratios and/or yields. Net Expense Ratio refers to the limitation on expenses exclusive of brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, organizational and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and information expenses and will expire as indicated.

2The 30-day SEC yield is a standardized calculation, calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30-day period by the maximum offering price per share at the end of the period and annualizing the result. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) are designed to provide protection against inflation through monthly adjustments to the principal value of TIPS, which increases with inflation and decreases with deflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index. Monthly principal adjustments for inflation (increases and decreases) are excluded from the 30-day SEC yield calculation. Such adjustments can vary substantially from one month to the next, and if they were included, may materially impact the 30-day SEC yield either higher or lower. A subsidized 30-day SEC yield reflects the effect of fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The SEC yield is not based upon distributions of the fund and actual income distributions may be higher or lower than the 30-day SEC yield amounts. During periods of unusual market conditions and/or activity in the sales or redemptions of fund shares, the fund’s 30-day SEC yield amounts may be materially higher or lower than its actual income distributions. Unsubsidized 30-day SEC yield is calculated using the gross expenses of the fund. Gross expenses do not include any fee waivers or reimbursement.
