C000179038 Investment Objective and Strategy
Natixis Target Retirement 2035 Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Natixis Funds Trust IV.
Investment objective
The Fund seeks the highest total return consistent with its current asset allocation.
Principal investment strategy
"The Fund employs an asset allocation strategy designed for investors planning to retire within a few years of the target year designated in the Fund's name. The Fund allocates its assets among investments in affiliated underlying funds and separately managed segments that invest directly in securities. The Fund's asset allocation will become more conservative over time by reducing its equity exposure and increasing its fixed-income exposure in accordance with a ""glide path"" until approximately 10 years following its target year. The Fund assumes a retirement age of 65 at the target year and is designed for investors who plan to withdraw the value of their account gradually after retirement. The Fund follows a sustainable investing approach and selects U.S. and non-U.S. securities, including emerging markets securities, based on environmental, social and governance (""ESG"") criteria with respect to such issues as fair labor, anti-corruption, human rights, fair business practices and mitigation of environmental impact, seeking a diversified portfolio of investments that contribute to a more sustainable future.
The Fund also invests in underlying funds which invest principally in U.S. government and/or agency securities. The Fund may invest in securities of any market capitalization. The Fund's equity allocation consists of three separately managed segments, with target weightings that will vary as determined by the Fund's Subadviser, Wilshire Associates Incorporated (""Wilshire""): Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Segment Focuses on equity securities of companies that the Fund's Subadviser, Ostrum Asset Management U.S., LLC (""Ostrum US,"" formerly, Natixis Asset Management U.S.,LLC), expects will benefit from major long-term global trends such as, among others, climate change, natural resources depletion, and population growth and movement. In selecting companies to invest in, Ostrum US focuses on providers of solutions to the issues arising from these trends, as well as companies that provide products and services that address or are otherwise aligned with these trends.
Ostrum US selects securities based on an in-depth fundamental analysis of companies combining qualitative, financial and ESG considerations. In deciding which securities to buy and sell, Ostrum US generally seeks to invest in securities of companies that relate to sustainable development themes derived from long-term global trends, demonstrate adherence to ESG practices, have strong fundamentals, and offer attractive valuations. The segment invests both in securities of U.S. issuers and in securities of non-U.S. issuers, including investments through American Depositary Receipts (""ADRs""). Mirova Carbon Neutral U.S. Equity Segment Invests in equity securities within a universe comprised of large capitalization U.S. equity securities and additional ""green"" stocks that Ostrum US believes to be beneficiaries of the transition to a less carbon-centric economy.
Ostrum US selects securities from this universe that it believes demonstrate acceptable positive practices with regard to carbon footprint and ESG considerations. Ostrum US uses a third-party service provider to assess the carbon footprint of companies in the investment universe and to determine a baseline threshold of acceptable impact on carbon emissions, taking into account both a company's carbon emissions and the carbon emissions that a company's products and services help to avoid. The portfolio managers then attempt to construct a carbon neutral portfolio (a portfolio for which total emissions do not exceed the emissions avoided by using the portfolio companies' products and services), which aims to outperform its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, while matching the risk characteristics of the S&P 500 Index as closely as possible given a variety of constraints such as carbon impact, ESG criteria, active management of the ""green"" stocks and turnover.
The portfolio managers may sell a security if its carbon footprint is no longer within acceptable parameters, if its ESG criteria deteriorate, if another opportunity is more attractive, to reduce tracking error relative to the S&P 500 Index or for risk management purposes. Active Index Advisors (""AIA"") U.S. Large Cap Value ESG Segment Invests in stocks of companies generally considered to be value-oriented securities within the large capitalization U.S. equity market that have an ESG rating of Committed, Positive or Neutral. The segment is managed by the AIA division of Natixis Advisors, L.P. (the ""Adviser"") using ESG criteria ratings provided by Mirova, an affiliate of the Adviser, to construct a portfolio that seeks to track returns of the S&P 500 Value Index. The Adviser may sell a security if it falls below a Neutral ESG rating, if the security no longer represents a value-oriented large capitalization security, or to reduce tracking error relative to the S&P 500 Value Index.
The segment will attempt to select securities and weights in such a way as to match the characteristics and returns of the S&P 500 Value Index as closely as possible, given a variety of constraints such as ESG criteria, security restrictions and turnover. The Fund's fixed-income allocation consists of investments in the following underlying funds (the ""Underlying Funds""), with target weightings that will vary as determined by Wilshire: Mirova Global Green Bond Fund Normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in ""green bonds."" The proceeds of ""green bonds"" are used to finance projects which the fund's adviser believes will have a positive environmental impact. Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund Normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in investments issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund Normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in inflation-protected securities. The Fund's Subadviser, Wilshire, developed the Fund's glide path and determines the Fund's target allocations. The glide path represents the shifting of equity and fixed-income allocations over time and shows how the Fund's asset mix becomes more conservative as the target date approaches and passes. The Fund's target allocations as of June 1, 2018 are 80% in equity securities and 20% in fixed-income securities (including cash). Under normal circumstances, the Fund may deviate no more than plus or minus 10% from its target allocations. The following glide path illustrates how the Fund's target allocations are expected to change over time.
This reflects individuals' expected need for reduced market risks as retirement approaches and for low portfolio volatility after retirement. The Underlying Funds may enter into derivatives transactions as part of their principal investment strategies, such as forward currency contracts, structured notes, futures transactions and swap transactions. The Underlying Funds may also invest in investment grade corporate notes and bonds, zero-coupon bonds, securities issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (""Rule 144A securities""), asset-backed securities and mortgage-related securities. The Fund is expected to reach its final allocations approximately 10 years past its target year. The Fund's Board of Trustees may approve combining the Fund with other Natixis Sustainable Future Funds?
that have reached their final allocations if the Board determines that such combination would be in the best interest of such Funds' shareholders."
