Westpeak 130/30 Growth Fund closing
The Natixis Funds Board of Trustees voted on June 17, 2008 to liquidate the Westpeak 130/30 Growth Fund on August 22, 2008. Management's recommendation and the board's approval were based on multiple factors, including a strategic review by Westpeak Global Advisors to refocus its business in other areas.
What you should know
The Fund stopped accepting additional investments from existing shareholders as of the close of business on July 25, 2008.
If your account was registered directly with Natixis Funds, you received a check in the amount of the value of your shares based on the closing net asset value (NAV) for the Fund on the liquidation date. We sent the check via U.S. Mail to the address listed on your account records. For accounts registered through a brokerage firm, we expect that the proceeds have been transferred to your cash account. Please remember that in most cases a fund liquidation is a taxable event. Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSC) were waived on the liquidation date. However, redemptions of shares prior to the liquidation date were subject to any applicable CDSC.
Retirement plans
If your Fund investment was in a Natixis IRA or a retirement plan, your assets were transferred to Natixis Cash Management Trust – Money Market Series under your plan. The transfer occured at the close of business on August 22, 2008, and was not a taxable event.
We apologize for any inconvenience this decision may have caused you. Please be assured that Natixis Funds remains committed to providing you with a diverse range of solutions to help you reach your investment goals. We appreciate your support of our fund family and hope that we may continue to help you invest in the future.
