About LIGYX

Loomis Sayles International Growth Fund Class Y is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in international equity securities. The fund typically maintains a concentrated portfolio of 30 to 45 holdings, emphasizing high-conviction investments in companies outside the United States. It targets businesses the management team believes possess sustainable competitive advantages, strong long-term cash flow growth potential, and are trading at significant discounts to their estimated intrinsic value. The fund employs a private equity-oriented investment approach, partnering with company managements who think and act like owners, and defines risk as the permanent loss of capital rather than short-term volatility. Key sectors represented in the portfolio include consumer discretionary, technology, healthcare, and consumer staples, and the fund’s holdings span both developed and emerging markets. The investment process incorporates rigorous valuation analyses and disciplined risk management, with the goal of delivering excess returns over time. Class Y shares are designed for institutional investors and feature a relatively low turnover rate and high active share, reflecting the fund’s selective investment style and differentiated strategy in the foreign large-growth category.
