Natixis Cash Première Remunerate cash by investing exclusively in euro-denominated securities, issued or guaranteed by euro zone member states

o A secure proposition for short-term investments Natixis Cash Première aims to achieve a performance close to that of Eonia minus management fees to remunerate overnight investments. The fund invests solely in eurodenominated securities, issued or guaranteed by euro zone member states. The fund has no direct or indirect exposure to the securitisation risk. The fund’s modified duration is managed actively by the investment team and varies between 0 and 0.5.

o Active management of modified duration combined with rigorous security selection criteria The Natixis Cash Première investment team relies on the core scenario drawn up by Natixis Asset Management’s Macro-economic and Money Market Committees. Depending on expectations on the European Central Bank’s monetary policy and on fluctuations in the euro yield curve, the investment team decides on an appropriate allocation between fixed and variable rates. Active management of the portfolio’s exposure to fixed and variable rates aims to enhance the fund’s performance. To guarantee high portfolio quality, it is exclusively invested in government guaranteed securities with a long-term rating of at least A- (S&P and Fitch) or A3 (Moody’s). For securities with a maturity of less than one year and no long-term rating, the minimum rating is A-1 (S&P), P-1 (Moody’s) or F1 (Fitch). In addition, the investment team sets itself an average lifespan of 3 months maximum for securities held in the portfolio, thus ensuring that the fund remains highly liquid.

Natixis Cash Première Investment team The Natixis Cash Première investment team determines the fixed rate / variable rate allocation of the fund based on expectations on fluctuations in the yield curve. When the investment team expects intervention rates to be cut by more than the market consensus, it increases the portfolio’s exposure to fixed rate securities (3 months maximum). Conversely, if it expects a rate hike, it increases the fund’s exposure to variable rate securities indexed to Eonia. In certain market configurations, the fixed rate / variable rate allocation may thus generate additional performance compared to a strategy entirely indexed to Eonia.

Natixis Cash A1P1 Remunerate cash on an overnight basis by investing in securities indexed to Eonia

o Performance close to Eonia for overnight investments Natixis Cash A1P1 aims to achieve a performance net of management fees close to Eonia to remunerate overnight investments. The fund's policy is to invest in short-term money market securities indexed to Eonia, either directly due to their issue terms, or indirectly after backing them with interest rate swaps. As Natixis Cash A1P1 is not exposed to an interest rate risk, its modified duration is close to 0.

key points n Short lifespan of assets: 3 months at most on acquisition n AAA/V1 Fitch rating n Rigorous selection of investments

High level of credit quality and short lifespan of o securities held in the portfolio Natixis Cash A1P1 invests solely in money market instruments with maturities of less than 3 months, issued by private issuers rated at least A1/P1/F1 by Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Fitch and S&P. The fund is not exposed to Asset Backed Securities, whether directly or indirectly. For the security selection process, the investment team relies on the recommendations of 9 credit analysts. In addition, a division dedicated to Credit Risk within the Risk Department of Natixis Asset Management verifies that the conditions for eligibility of the securities included in the investment universe are maintained (credit monitoring).

n Significant assets under management offering robust capacity for absorbing subscriptions/ redemptions

overview Investment universe Negotiable debt securities with a short-term rating of at least A1/P1/F1

o A rigorous management process and high degree of liquidity Natixis Cash A1P1 was awarded a Fitch rating of AAA/V1 in June 2008, underscoring its excellent credit quality and the low volatility of its performance. This rating also rewards the consistency of the investment process and the stability of the management teams. Natixis Cash A1P1 has significant assets under management, enabling it to absorb a large volume of subscriptions/redemptions and favouring daily liquidity.

Natixis Cash A1P1 investment team Natixis Cash A1P1 uses interest rate swaps to index to Eonia those securities that are not directly indexed by their issue terms. In this case, the fund sets up a flow exchange with the contract’s counterparty, under which the fund pays a fixed rate and receives an interest rate indexed to Eonia. This transaction aims to exempt the fund from the interest rate risk, so that the only source of performance is the credit risk, which is controlled very carefully by the investment team, the credit analysis team and the Risk Department.

Intended for professional clients only

Natixis Tréso Euribor 3 mois investment team Euribor (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) is the rate at which a prime bank within the euro-zone is willing to lend funds to another prime bank. Eonia (Euro OverNight Index Average) is the average rate of the overnight transactions completed in the interbank market. By indexing on Euribor 3-month, it is possible to outperform Eonia in a favourable yield curve configuration: durable positive slope. The slope of the yield curve results from two main factors: the liquidity premium and the outlook on the European Central Bank’s monetary policy. In a configuration of a lasting inversion of the yield curve, however, Euribor offers less returns than Eonia.

Natixis Souverains Euro Benefit from an active management of eurozone sovereign bonds

o A fund dedicated to eurozone sovereign bonds Natixis Souverains Euro is a French SICAV invested in government bonds issued by eurozone countries. The fund aims to outperform the JP Morgan EMU Global index, representing eurozone government bonds of all maturities, over an investment period of at least three years.

o An active conviction-based strategy relying on Natixis Asset Managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fixed income expertise

n Multiple sources of added value

Natixis Souverains Euro's management team relies on complementary inputs produced by different teams allowing the ranking of the strategies applied to the portfolio: n conclusions of the Macroeconomic Research strategists; n analyses of 6 specialised task forces (Sector Teams) which provide opinions on key elements of the fixed income markets: duration, yield curve, relative value, inflation, technical analysis and volatility. The Sector Teams combine members of the following departments: interest rate management, Insurance management, Trading Desk, financial strategists and economists; n recommendations of the specialist interest rate committees, which integrate all the research inputs and prioritise the strategies to be implemented in the portfolio. This initial phase produces a model portfolio which takes account of ex-ante trackingerror constraints by type of strategy. Finally, the investment team builds the real portfolio, incorporating its leeway.

overview

o An investment process focusing on 4 sources of added value

Investment universe Bonds and other negotiable debt securities from the eurozone

The fund's management process relies mainly on 4 sources of added value to meet its objective: n active management of duration: depending on its expectations on interest rate trends, the investment team defines a target modified duration within a range of 3 to 9; n dynamic allocation on the yield curve: depending on expectations on distortions in the yield curve (steepening or flattening), the investment team defines an allocation in relation to the benchmark index on short, medium and long-term maturities (0 to 50 years); n relative weighting between eurozone markets: depending on its opinions on domestic markets and the relative expensiveness of government bonds, the investment team takes advantage of interest rate differences between government bonds from the different eurozone countries; n diversification: mainly through inflation-indexed bonds to improve the risk/return ratio and benefit from inflationary tensions in the interest rate markets.

Natixis Obli Opportunités 12 mois An opportunistic allocation among the main interest rate strategies over a 12-month horizon

o Benefit from a bond investment over a short-term horizon Natixis Obli Opportunités 12 Mois is a bond investment which aims to take profit from all configurations in fixed-income markets, over a one-year horizon. By investing in bonds or moneymarket securities of good quality*, it implements the main interest rate strategies: carry, modified duration, curve and relative value. The objective of Natixis Obli Opportunités 12 Mois (I share) is to outperform capitalized EONIA by 75 bp (net of fees) over a recommended investment period of 12 months.

o An investment principle based on a double allocation

K E Y P O I NTS n A dynamic alternative to moneymarket investments n A bond investment with a limited risk profile

The portfolio of Natixis Obli Opportunités 12 Mois comprises two distinct compartments: n A dynamic compartment: this portion comprises bonds* and money-market securities* denominated in euros and issued by OECD and EEA member states, or by private issuers guaranteed by these member states. It involves active one-to-three-year bond management based on various sources of added value: active management of the modified duration, dynamic allocation in the yield curve and selection of countries and securities.

n A dynamic double allocation: bonds versus money-market, active management versus securities carry

n A carry compartment: this compartment comprises covered bonds*, guaranteed debts and sovereign bonds of eurozone states* and enables investors to take advantage of attractive credit spreads.

n Rigorous selection of quality securities*

o An opportunistic management process

OVERVIEW

In order to take advantage of the different conditions in the fixed-income market, the investment team has implemented an opportunistic strategy based on a double allocation: n in the dynamic compartment, an allocation between bonds and money-market securities; the modified duration of this portion may accordingly range from 0, when the portion is monetarized, to 4, when the investment team implements a maximum exposure to interest rates; n between the dynamic compartment and the carry portion in order to capture all scenarios associated with movements in interest rates and credit spreads.

Natixis Obli Opportunités 12 Mois Investment team Covered bonds are bonds issued by banks and whose repayment is guaranteed by a set of assets. They are an alternative way of financing to senior or subordinated debt. Unlike similar securities such as securitizations and ABSs, covered bonds benefit from: n a selection of assets fulfilling strict eligibility criteria, resulting in better-quality assets; n specific regulations and supervision by a designated entity (public or independent, depending on the country); n double protection for investors (by the issuing credit institution and a proof of assets) and priority access to repayment in the event of default.

Natixis Asset Management’s fixed income investment team comprises 40 specialist managers responsible for a total of e 160.7 billion of assets under management in this asset class as of 30 June 2010. Within this division, a manager/analyst specialized in government bonds is devoted in particular to the management of the Natixis Obli Opportunités 12 Mois fund. He interacts constantly with the team of three managers/ analysts specialized in the selection of covered bonds. Source: Natixis Asset Management

risk management The main risk when investing in Natixis Obli Opportunités 12 Mois is the interest rate risk, i.e. the possible depreciation in the value of fixed-income instruments resulting from changes in interest rates. In order to manage this risk, the investment team has set a modified duration range of 0 to 4. The investment team has also chosen to limit the credit risk by selecting good-quality securities rated as follows: - for securities of the money-market type: between A+ and A1 according to S&P, P1 according to Moody's - for securities of the bond type: between AAA and AA- according to S&P, between Aaa and Aa3 according to Moody's (except supranational issuers or OECD member states).

Natixis Inflation Euro Benefiting from the diversification offered by inflation-linked bonds, one of the essential variables in the economic cycle

o The attractiveness of inflation-linked bonds Natixis Inflation Euro aims at obtaining a performance equivalent to that of the index " Barclays Euro Government Inflation - Linked Bonds All Maturities" over a two-year recommanded investment horizon, while offering protection against inflation-related risks. The fund is mainly invested in Euro inflation-linked bonds. However, depending on market conditions, the fund may be exposed to euro fixed-rate bonds, for no more than 25%. Inflation-linked bonds, also called “real rates”, offer three advantages: n by construction, they offer protection against rising inflation; n they improve the risk/return ratio of a portfolio’s bond component. Inflation-linked bonds can be used to optimise a portfolio’s construction as OATI historically offer less volatile yields than nominal rates over the long term; n lastly, they play the role of a cushion in the event of rate hikes while benefiting from decreases, to a lesser extent.

k e y points n A dynamic and mature asset class n Historical expertise developed by the Natixis Asset Management teams n A source of diversification that improves the risk/return ratio of a bond portfolio

o A major challenge: anticipating inflation Natixis Asset Management has developed a rigorous inflation forecasting method. For short-term expectations, it combines three factors: analysis of the four key components of inflation, their volatility and seasonality.

T Lhe es 4 components

The forward indicators

Energy

Oil price, e/$ effect

Food

Seasonal effect

Goods

PPI seasonal effect

Services

Construction prices, Wages

For medium-term expectations, cyclical factors such as economic growth and inventories are analysed. These forecasts are enhanced with a market analysis based on the monthly macroeconomic scenario, flows and other technical indicators.

o Our strategy is based on 5 sources of performance Our management style is active and seeks to optimise the allocation between different strategies while ensuring a protection against inflation. 5 sources of performance are used: n exposure to real interest rates; n position on the real yield curve; n arbitrage between inflation rates (eg. French inflation vs. euro zone inflation); n exposure to nominal rates; n exposure to international bonds on an opportunistic basis.

Natixis Inflation Euro investment team Breakeven inflation Breakeven inflation corresponds to expected inflation. It determines the relative attractiveness of inflation-indexed bonds in relation to nominal bonds. For instance, if the inflation recorded over the period averages more than expected inflation (the breakeven), an inflation-indexed bond will have performed better than a fixed-rate bond of same maturity. Breakeven = Nominal rates – Real rates

The bond management team of Natixis Asset Management comprises 40 specialised fund managers managing total assets of e160.7 billion for this asset class as of 30 June 2010. Natixis Asset Management has a strong specific expertise in inflation-linked bonds since 1999. Our management team is supported by a team of 6 economists who provide macroeconomic analyses essential to inflation forecasts, and a team of financial engineers in charge of optimising the risk allocation within the bond portfolios and developing quantitative tools for the managers.

Natixis Convertibles Euro An original and attractive investment that benefits from both the dynamic potential of equities and the more limited volatility of bonds

o An original medium-term investment alternative Natixis Convertibles Euro is mostly invested in euro-denominated convertible bonds from OECD country issuers. The aim is to outperform the Exane Convertible Index Euro (ECI), representative of the Eurozone convertible bond market, over a minimum 4-year investment period.

o Convertible bonds: attractive financial instruments Convertible bonds allow to convert bonds to shares of an issuer according to a predetermined ratio and period. The convertible bond’s value therefore depends directly on the underlying stock’s price variations. This sensitivity to the equity market is called “delta”. The characteristic of the delta is that it is higher in a bull market than in a bear market. That is called convexity. Convertible bonds therefore profit more from the rise of the underlying stock than they suffer from its fall. If the underlying stock has risen sharply, the convertible bond will have a very high delta and therefore perform in a similar way to the underlying stock (“equity” profile). Conversely, if the underlying stock Convertible bond convexity has fallen sharply the "Bond" profile "Mixed" profile "Stock" profile convertible bond will perform just like a normal bond (“bond” profile). Mixed profile convertible bonds (with a delta of between 15% and Evolution of the underlying stock 75%) are the most convex. Bond value of the convertible bond

o An investment process that optimises the convertible bond’s convexity Depending on the strategists’ macro-economic scenario and expectations for equity and fixed income markets, the investment team will identify a target range of average delta for the portfolio corresponding to the wanted equity exposure. The team will focus on the most convex convertible bonds having a “mixed” profile. The aim is to get the most out of the dynamic nature of convertible bonds when markets are rising and their defensive nature when markets fall. Shares are selected through three complementary procedures: n fundamental analysis of the issuers, with the added expertise of our Equities and Credit teams; n technical analysis using proprietary models developed by the quantitative research team; n valuation of the convertible by analysing its technical characteristics.

Natixis Convertibles Euro INVESTMENT TEAM The convertible bond is made up of a bond and a call option on the issuer’s underlying share.The convertible bond will therefore move in line with the call. This offers the bond investor an opportunity to play the rise in the equity markets. Conversely, the equity investor is provided with a share with a put option. This represents an investment in the underlying share with limited risk in uncertain market periods.

Legal form

RISK MANAGEMENT Because it includes high-yield securities, Natixis Convertibles Euro is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The characteristics of convertible bonds also make them subject to equity market risk, although this is limited in the event of a market downturn because of their convexity. If the equity markets go up, the investment team makes high-delta convertibles a priority, and low-delta ones if the markets fall. Fund managers select securities with a delta ranging between 15% and 75% to obtain an average portfolio delta of between 30% and 60%. Because of the implicit call option for the underlying share in each security, the price of the convertible is sensitive to volatility movements.

o Lengthening of maturities to outperform Eonia Over its minimum recommended investment period, Natixis Court Terme 6 Mois aims to achieve an annualized performance that exceeds capitalized Eonia by 0.30% in the case of I(C) and I(D) shares and 0.20% in the case of the R share (after deduction of management fees). The maximum residual life of each security at the time of acquisition is 24 months, with the weighted average life (WAL) of the portfolio being kept below 12 months. In order to maintain transparency for investors and to emphasize the choice of securities with slightly longer maturities than those currently included in Natixis Asset Management’s money market funds, it has been decided to classify this fund in the bond category.

Conversely, if it expects a rate hike, it increases the fund’s exposure to variable rate securities indexed to Eonia. In certain market configurations, the fixed/variable rate allocation may thus generate additional performance compared to a strategy entirely indexed to Eonia.

Natixis Court Terme 6 Mois is managed within the money market investment team of Natixis Asset Management, Europe’s fourth-largest operator in cash management*. The money market investment team comprises 11 portfolio managers and two financial engineers managing over e62,4 billion of assets as at the end of June 2010**. This specialist team is very stable, with an average length of service of 13 years and a consistent track record for over 10 years. * Source: Feri Fund Market as at 31/05/2010 ** Source: Natixis AM

risk management The fund is mainly exposed to credit and interest rate risks. It does not benefit from any guarantee. In addition to the external controls performed by the statutory auditor and the custodian, the fund is put through three different levels of internal risk control: a first level of control is performed by the management and the middle office, a second level by the Compliance, Internal Controls and Risks department and a third through the regular audits performed by the Natixis Global Asset Management holding company.

eurozone EQUITIES

Natixis Actions Euro Value Tapping the potential of Eurozone value equities within the scope of a conviction-based strategy

o Taking advantage of value investing in the Eurozone To benefit from a broad range of opportunities, the Natixis Actions Euro Value team focuses on stocks deemed to be discounted or undervalued by the market in relation to their intrinsic value or equilibrium price (value investing). Natixis Actions Euro Value implements a conviction-based management in a bid to outperform the Eurozone equity market over a recommended investment horizon of five years.

o A clear-cut value approach The value approach of Natixis Actions Euro Value is based on the idea that a share price can veer away from its intrinsic value over a more or less prolonged period. The fund managers seek to identify stocks “neglected” by the market, for which it identifies a turnaround point for expected earnings growth and significant upside potential. Stockpicking relies on in-depth knowledge of the stocks in the portfolio combined with a systematic valuation process.

k e y p o ints n Conviction investing on Eurozone value stocks

n A clearly-defined investment process

n A specialised team of fund managers, with long-standing expertise in value investing

The stock selection is based on four clearly identified value segments: n Return and visibility: companies offering good earnings visibility; n Discounted cyclicals: cyclical stocks trading at a significant discount; n Restructuring: companies penalised by a disappointing operating performance in the short term, but which have set up a convincing restructuring plan; n Conglomerates: companies active in several fields exaggeratedly penalised (holding discounts).

o A conviction-based investment focusing on stock-picking Stock-picking is the portfolio’s main source of added value. Natixis Actions Euro Value is constructed with some sixty large cap stocks representing the management team’s strongest convictions. The investment process breaks down into 3 phases: 1- Detection of opportunities: qualitative and quantitative analysis to seek the best investment opportunities; 2- Selection of the strongest convictions: stock picks based on in-depth knowledge of the stocks in the portfolio and a systematic valuation process; 3- Portfolio construction attentive to a good degree of sector and country diversification.

Natixis Actions Euro Value Investment team The Equity Division of Natixis Asset Management comprises 35 fund managers with a broad range of expertise, managing assets of e 35,5 bn as of 30 June 2010*. In addition to 20 years’ experience in core European fund management, this division has developed specific expertise in European satellite management. Of these, the Europe Equity Style team includes two managers specialising in the following funds: a value fund (Natixis Actions Euro Value) and a high dividend fund (Natixis Actions Europe Dividende). *Source: Natixis Asset Management

Risk management The portfolio is mainly exposed to equity risk. During the portfolio construction phase, the management team contrasts the upside potential of each stock under consideration with its estimated risk level. The managers also check that the four value segments are evenly balanced. Lastly, as value investing may result in sector and country biases, the management team measures and steers these biases to ensure the portfolio is well diversified.

The analysis of the investment universe of Natixis Actions Euro Value stems essentially from two factors: expectations for medium-term profit growth and momentum in revisions to earnings growth expectations.

GLOBAL EQUITIES

Natixis Actions Global Emergents Benefit from active management focused on country allocation in the dynamic universe of emerging equities

o Emerging equities: an attractive and heterogeneous universe Natixis Actions Global Emergents aims to outperform its benchmark index, the MSCI Emerging Markets** with net dividends reinvested, denominated in euros, over a recommended investment period of five years. To achieve this objective, the managers implement a fundamental top-down approach based on a country allocation managed within a precise risk budget. Emerging equities offer attractive returns, since the emerging markets stand out in terms of: n dynamism: a sustained pace of development with annual GDP growth of over 6% since 2000, compared to an average of 1,5% for the advanced economies (source: World Economic Outlook 2010); n diversity: wide disparity in development levels and driving factors. Two major groups can be distinguished: countries whose economies are strongly linked to commodities (such as Brazil and South Africa) and manufacturing countries taking advantage of the relocation of production from developed countries (such as China and Mexico).

o Active management of country allocation combined with optimization of risk budget The Natixis Actions Global Emergents investment team applies an original three-stage investment process based on a tactical country allocation. The first stage involves an analysis of each emerging market in terms of its macroeconomic environment, valuation and market conditions. This in-depth study identifies the best country opportunities. It gives rise to a monthly meeting of the Emerging Equities Allocation Committee. The second stage involves a quantitative optimization resulting from its qualitative views. This determines the relative weight of each country in the portfolio, taking particular account of tracking error constraints. Finally, the third stage comprises the tactical management of the portfolio and the control of risks. The managers of Natixis Actions Global Emergents use liquid investment vehicles, which allow a high degree of responsiveness while limiting transaction costs: country, regional and/or global emerging market ETFs*, emerging market futures (in the case of the most liquid markets). The Natixis Actions Global Emergents investment team is assisted by five professionals (an economist specializing in the emerging markets, a strategist and three allocation managers) who have an average of 17 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience.

THE Investment team The Natixis Actions Global Emergents fund is managed within Natixis Asset Management’s Global Asset Allocation & ALM division. This team comprises 26 managers (including a strategist) with total assets of i24,5 billion as of 30 June 2010*. It deploys a comprehensive range of expertise: benchmarked diversified management, save-as-you-earn, absolute return management, modeling & strategy and insurance management. The investment teams benefit from an extensive and dynamic view of asset classes, geographic regions and vehicles within a framework of controlled risks. *Source: Natixis Asset Management

RISK MANAGEMENT Natixis Actions Global Emergents is exposed principally to equity risk, accentuated by the risk associated with the nature of the emerging markets (sharp movements in prices of securities and currencies in these countries). To manage this risk, the investment team relies on a dedicated economist who regularly supplies information on factors liable to affect trends in the emerging asset class (macroeconomic indicators, political developments, etc.) and on a flexible process whereby proactive adjustments can be made to country positions. The contributions from the various strategies to the ex-ante tracking error are taken into account in the construction of the portfolio, while the various parameters are monitored ex-post by a control function that is independent of the risk management.

Natixis Actions US Growth Outperform the S&P 500 TR in dollars using a growth approach

o Focusing on long term growth Natixis Actions US Growth is invested mainly in equities of US companies with a market capitalisation of over $3 billion. The fund aims to outperform its benchmark, the S&P 500 TR in dollars, over an investment horizon of at least 5 years. The management approach consists first in identifying companies with strong upside potential in terms of earnings and profit (Growth style). The investment team then picks companies capable of generating a sufficient amount of cash flow over the long term.

o Stock-picking at the heart of the investment process The portfolio is constructed with a bottom-up approach: stock-picking stems from an analysis of the fundamental characteristics of each company. This analysis is based on three criteria: n identifying new catalysts (e.g. new product, structural change in the industry, change of management, etc.),

KEY POINTS n A differentiated “growth” philosophy, emphasizing intrinsic business value and cash economics

n An experienced investment team based in the United States

n An extensive track record in growth-style management

n the quality of the business model, n an assessment of the company’s value. In regards to the latter item, specific attention is paid to each company’s ability to generate long-term growth. The investment team aims to pick stocks answering strong convictions and to hold them in the portfolio for three to five years, resulting in a low target turnover rate (30% to 40%). The portfolio focuses on 25 to 35 stocks. Approximately two-thirds of these stocks correspond to companies enjoying a long track record of growth, generally leaders in their industry. The remaining third comprises companies identified as starting on the growth track, intentionally underweighted in the portfolio as they are riskier.

o Extensive expertise in managing US stocks The management of Natixis Actions US Growth is delegated to US-based Delaware Investments. The investment team has extensive experience in US “growth” stocks and has acquired robust expertise in this asset class. It has been following the same investment philosophy since the 1980s, demonstrating its ability to weather different market configurations.

OVERVIEW Investment universe North American large cap equities Benchmark index S&P 500 TR Minimum recommended investment period 5 years

Natixis Actions US Growth Investment team Philadelphia-based Delaware Investments is a US management company specialising in US bonds and equities. Delaware Investments is a subsidiary of Macquarie Group. It has a distinctive entrepreneurial culture and operates as a boutique. As of the 30th of June 2010, Delaware Investments had $200 billion in assets under management*, with a broad range of mandates, dedicated funds, open-end funds, pension funds and delegated management for private and institutional investors such as private banks, pension funds and foundations.

Natixis Asset Management offers 2 US equity funds: Natixis US focus growth (Growth investing) and Natixis US Opportunities (Value investing). Both investment styles complement one another and may be favoured depending on market conditions and investor preferences. Growth investment consists of identifying stocks showing strong growth potential or whose earnings are expected to grow at faster than average pace than its industry or the overall market. Value investing consists in identifying stocks trading on the market at a price lower than their intrinsic value, where the stock price does not reflect longterm fundamentals.

The main risk presented by the fund is the equity risk, which the investment team seeks to alleviate by selecting high-quality companies with stable cash flow and robust fundamentals.

Lastly, the investment team tends to underweight companies in the commodities sector and to favour companies in sectors that are starting on the growth track.

GLOBAL EQUITIES

Funds - Climate Change

Reconciling climate change with a performance oriented strategy in a global equity fund

o Climate change: a global challenge Impact Funds - Climate Change is a thematic fund which aims to outperform the global equity market over a recommended horizon of five years minimum. The Fund invests in companies whose activities contribute to mitigating carbon emissions, adapting to the consequences of climate change, or to better management of natural resources. Since climate change is a global challenge, Impact Funds - Climate Change has an international geographic coverage. As they are also active on the global warming issues, emerging countries are included in the investment universe.

o A 360째 approach to climate change based on solid scientific research A key factor of Impact Funds - Climate Change is its comprehensive approach to the theme of climate change. Drawing on the research work of a dedicated Scientific Advisory Committee, the investment team has defined ten key themes related to climate change, grouped into three macro-themes

KEY POINTS n Active management combined with a scientific approach

n A global, multi-thematic and multisector investment universe

n An investment combining responsibility and performance oriented strategy

n Mitigation : reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; n Adaptation to the inevitable consequences of climate change; n Better management of natural resources. This very wide approach to the theme makes it possible to go beyond the sometimes simplistic approaches (e.g. single-sector funds covering green energies or water), by investing in a large spectrum of sectors. For example, beyond the most obvious industries such as clean energies or soil treatment, the fund extends its analysis to include other subthemes like reinsurance or changes in consumer behavior (e.g.: development of teleworking and e-commerce), which are also directly or indirectly associated with global warming.

o Combining responsibility with a performance oriented strategy After the completion of this research work, which identifies a universe of stocks meeting the key challenges of climate change, the investment team conducts an in-depth financial analysis (quantitative and qualitative) to detect the most attractive profiles in terms of appreciation potential and level of risk. Only stocks fulfilling both thematic and financial criteria are eligible. Hence a company extremely innovative on the thematic level but with an unattractive financial profile would not be selected.

OVERVIEW Investment universe Global equities Benchmark None. The MSCI World index could be used for performance comparison. Minimum recommended investment period Five years minimum

An exclusion filter is then applied to the preselected stocks to ensure that they do not infringe the fundamental principles of responsible investment. The investment team finally builds a concentrated portfolio which reflect its convictions, without any sector or country constraints in relation to an index. In addition to the question of responsibility, the experts at Natixis Asset Management are convinced that climate change represents genuine opportunities for investors: the companies that take the lead in this theme build a competitive advantage that should become more valuable over time, particularly since climate change factors do not currently seem to be priced into equities.

Intended for professional clients only, as defined by MIFID

Funds - Climate Change INVESTMENT TEAM As a major player in the asset management market in Europe, Natixis Asset Management distinguishes itself notably by its solid expertise in equity management and more particularly on the thematic field. The company is also acknowledged for its know-how in responsible investment. Impact Funds - Climate Change is managed within the Conviction-Based Equity Management team by two portfolio managers with complementary profiles, each of whom has 20 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience in equity investment. They also draw on the expertise of 35 portfolio managers/ analysts specializing in particular sectors and market segments.

A Scientific Advisory Committee devoted to climate change The implementation of climate change factors into an investment strategy requires an in-depth understanding of the geographic, sectoral, technological and human impacts resulting from global warming. Natixis Asset Management is mindful that climate change is a complex and constantly evolving issue, and has therefore established a Scientific Advisory Committee made up of eight experts with varied and complementary profiles. The role of this committee is to: - Enlighten the portfolio managers on climate change and its impacts; - Issue an opinion on the relevance of the stocks in which the portfolio is invested (without interfering in investment decisions); - Provide information on climate change. This Committee is chaired by Carlos Joly, a co-founder of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment and a partner of Natixis Asset Management in this approach.

MAIN RISKS The main risks associated with Impact Funds - Climate Change lie in the risk of capital loss (there is no guarantee that the invested capital will be returned to the investor in full, and the net asset value could significantly diverge - increasingly or decreasingly - compared to the subscription value) and in the risk implied by its exposure to the equity market. The fund also involves risks regarding its exposure to emerging markets, an exchange rate risk, a portfolio risk concentration and a risk due to its potential investment in small and mid capitalization companies. The extensive approach applied on a sector and geographic level will nevertheless ensure that the investments are well diversified. Besides, the portfolio is submitted to the independent review of middle office and risk control teams.

Sonic Monde A multimanagement fund aiming to draw on the growth potential of international equities

o An international equity fund of funds Sonic Monde is a fund of funds invested mainly in the international equity markets, with a minimum 80% exposure to equities. As an international fund of funds, Sonic Monde aims to outperform its composite benchmark: 50% MSCI World AC (ex-EMU) and 50% DJ Eurostoxx 50 (Total Return, in euros) over a recommended investment period of 7 to 8 years. The fund may invest in other asset classes (fixed income and alternative) within a limit of 20% of the portfolio in bonds and 10% of the portfolio in alternative investments.

o Conviction-based management on asset class, styles geographic and thematic allocation

KEY POINTS n An international equity fund of funds tailored to European investors n A combination of five sources of diversification: asset classes/ countries/sectors/styles/managers n Active and conviction-based management

The investment process of Sonic Monde benefits from Natixis Multimanager expertise in fund selection and also asset allocation. The process involves several phases: n Fund selection process : the Managers-Analysts refer to quantitative and qualitative studies to select funds likely to generate performance in each of the geographic regions, themes, sectors and management styles they wish to favour. n The reference strategic allocation defines the medium/long term breakdown of investments by asset class: the equity pocket can represent at least 80% of the fundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s net assets, the fixed income pocket can vary between 0 and 20% of the net assets and the alternative pocket between 0 and 10%. The main strategy consists in increasing or trimming exposure to the equity markets. n At the same time, within each asset pocket, the investment team sets up a tactical allocation by geographic region, sector and theme according to its short-term convictions. This allocation, based on market inefficiencies and opportunities, is managed dynamically. The investment team then constructs the portfolio by making a rigorous selection of styles and investment vehicules. These vehicules are selected according to a core/satellite approach, consisting in defining a core that corresponds to the investment objective and satellite funds to diversify the sources of performance.

PERFORMANCE

Natixis Performance Quant Bond 18 M An investment that seeks to take advantage of fluctuations in the eurozone yield curve whatever the market configuration

o Seizing opportunities on the eurozone yield curve Natixis Performance Quant Bond 18 M seeks to take advantage of upward or downward interest rate movements in the eurozone. The aim of its “Performance”* strategy is to enable the fund to seize opportunities whatever the market configuration. The fund’s investment universe comprises euro-denominated securities issued or guaranteed by eurozone member states. The managers also have recourse to interest rate derivative instruments to hedge or expose the portfolio. The fund has a modified duration bracket of -4 to +4. The objective of Natixis Performance Quant Bond 18 M (I share) is to achieve an annual outperformance of 100 bp relative to the capitalized Eonia index over a recommended investment period of 18 months.

Key points n An “Performance”* strategy in the euro zone’s fixed income markets n Enhance returns on cash by investing in first-class securities n Proprietary quantitative models to capture market trends

o Taking advantage of the two main movements in the curve The originality of Natixis Performance Quant Bond 18 M lies in its ability to capture the trends in the eurozone yield curve whatever the market configuration. The financial engineers of Natixis Asset Management have developed quantitative tools to break down and analyze the elementary movements of the yield curve based on two main elements:

The investment team defines a model portfolio for each of the nine scenarios. The purpose of these model portfolios is to optimise performance through long or short positions on short-term and longterm rates, under risk constraints (modified duration by pillars and VaR).

Rise in rates

Steepening Positive modified duration

Nine market scenarios are predetermined depending on the different Shift and Twist configurations.

Négative modified duration

Parallel movement of the curve (rise/fall in rates) or “Shift” Distortion of the curve (steepening or flattening) or “Twist”

On a day-to-day basis, a proprietary Sell short term rates Buy short term rates Fall in rates quantitative model enables the Buy long term rates Sell long term rates team to detect the market trend for the Shift and Twist elements, as Vente Taux Courts Achat Taux longs well as the “strength” of the trend. This quantitative signal is compared to the expectations obtained from a macroeconomic model, which is also developed in-house. Depending on the results (contradictory or otherwise), the actual portfolio will be exposed to the yield curve to a greater or lesser extent. * see Focus overleaf

PERFORMANCE

Natixis Performance Active Allocation An active allocation benefiting from a dual approach: fundamental and quantitative

o Multiple strategies to adapt to all market configurations Natixis Performance Active Allocation benefits from a process combining strategies which seek to generate performance whatever the market context. Natixis Performance Active Allocation aims to achieve an annual performance that is 2 % higher than capitalized EONIA for I shares net of fees (1.60 % for R shares) over a recommended investment period of two years. To that end, the investment team deploys a wide range of strategies, directional positions (long or short) and arbitrage positions. The fund’s investment universe covers: n all asset classes (equities, bonds, currencies, commodity indices, etc.), n all geographic regions (Europe, United States, Japan, emerging markets).

o Two complementary and autonomous approaches to generate performance Natixis Performance Active Allocation comprises two independently managed engines, whose allocation in the portfolio is balanced. In each “pocket”, the managers identify the many investment opportunities on the basis of quantitative, fundamental or technical analysis signals. These strategies are then calibrated in accordance with their contributions to the fund’s overall risk and monitored daily. n The first engine is managed in accordance with a fundamental approach of the “Global Macro” type. The manager bases his investment decisions on various types of analysis, which can be combined or used separately: macroeconomic analysis, technical analysis, flows and psychology, valuation of markets and momentum. The manager’s decision-making is discretionary and the positions are calibrated in terms of VaR (Value-at-Risk). n The second engine bases its strategies on a quantitative analysis confirmed by a discretionary analysis. An internally developed tool is used to detect the main market trends in a systematic way. Once identified, the strategies in this “Quant” pocket are implemented on a discretionary basis by the manager. The positions are calibrated using an optimization process which allows a balanced and robust allocation of risk budgets.

KEY POINTS n Access to multi-asset class strategies within an active allocation framework n Two engines of performance: one fundamental, the other quantitative n A portfolio invested in liquid, passive and pure vehicles (ETFs, futures contracts).

OVERVIEW Performance target net of fees I share: EONIA + 2.00 %/year R share: EONIA + 1.60 %/year Investment universe Diversified (equities, bonds, currencies, commodities, etc.)

o A discretionary allocation between strategies structured around risk management

Benchmark Capitalized EONIA

The investment team manages the allocation between the two engines on a discretionary basis so as to obtain a balanced distribution of the risk budgets allocated to the various sources of performance.

Minimum recommended investment period 2 years

Similarly, the allocation manager is in charge of overall risk management: he aims to contain the maximum loss risk (maximum draw-down) below a 5 % limit (with a probability of 95 %). He also ensures that the main investment constraints are complied with:

Fixed income strategies

Range of sensibility included between -8 et +8.

Equities strategies

Exposure included between -50 % / +50 % of the asset of the fund.

Currencies strategies

Exposure included between -40 % / +40 % of the asset of the fund.

Risk indicator Maximum loss (maximum drawdown) less than 5 % with a probability of 95 % (on an indicative basis)

Intended for professional clients only (as defined by teh MiFID)

Natixis Performance Active Allocation The investment team Both approaches within the portfolio are complementary because of four major elements of differentiation: the horizon of investment, the technique of management, the type of positions and the construction of the positions.

The Natixis Performance Active Allocation fund is managed within Natixis Asset Management’s Global Asset Allocation & ALM division. This team comprises 26 portfolio managers and seven analysts, with globally e24,5 billion of assets under management as of 30 June 2010 (source: Natixis Asset Management). It deploys a wide range of expertise: Benchmarked diversified management, Employee Savings schemes, Absolute return management, Modeling and Strategy, Insurance management & Liability Driven Investments (LDI). The investment teams benefit from an extensive and dynamic view of asset classes, geographic regions and vehicles within a controlled risk framework.

Risk management In view of the fund’s multiple investment strategies, there are various risks associated with Natixis Performance Active Allocation (equity, interest rate, credit, emerging market exposure, foreign exchange, etc.) which can give rise to a risk of capital loss. To control these risks, the managers of the fund ensure that a balance is maintained among the strategies. Since the emphasis is on diversifying sources of performance, each strategy is associated with an asset class and a type of position (directional or arbitrage) which individually generates a moderate risk in the portfolio. On an indicative basis, the managers ensure compliance with a maximum risk level that is calculated and monitored in such a way that the total of the consumed risk (drawdown or loss observed on the highest net asset value since the inception of the fund) and the anticipated risk (ex-ante VaR, or loss estimate) is below 5 %, with a probability of 95 %.

PERFORMANCE

Natixis Performance Swap Arbitrage In search of positive performance through arbitrage strategies on interest rate swaps

o Non-directional strategies Over an investment period of 2 years, Natixis Performance Swap Arbitrage aims to attain an annual performance higher than Eonia + 2%, after operating and management fees (I share), while remaining within predefined risk parameters (target volatility of 3%). The investment team implements three types of swap curve arbitrage strategies, all duration neutral with no currency risk. These arbitrage positions are reached through interest rate swaps, off balance sheet derivative instruments, which are standard and liquid. The fund’s cash is mostly invested in debt securities and money market instruments.

o Benefit from opportunities on swap curves from selected countries Natixis Performance Swap Arbitrage’s investment philosophy is based on a simple observation: fixed income markets are inefficient by nature. The diversity of players, each with diverging objectives and constraints, creates different expectations with regards to the evolution of swap curves. These differences result in arbitrage opportunities within or between yield curves. The fund benefits from these opportunities through duration neutral arbitrage strategies on 10 swap curves from selected OECD countries*. The investment team has developed an expertise on interest rate swaps, specifically on spot rate spreads (spread between 2 spot rates) and forward rate spreads (spread between 2 future rates anticipated by the market).

o Diversified sources of performance The fund studies a wide universe in order to identify opportunities for alpha creation. Natixis Asset Management has developed in-house quantitative tools allowing the detection of investment opportunities on a very large number of rate spread combinations (10 swap curves, spreads ranging from very short to very long maturities, several forward expiries).

RISK MANAGEMENT Natixis Performance Swap Arbitrage is mainly exposed to an arbitrage risk, whitch depends on the portfolio management team’s ability to correctly anticipate the future relative variations in international fixed income markets. To manage this risk, the team constantly takes into account a target weekly Value at Risk (VaR) of 0.70% with a 95% confidence interval, which corresponds to a target annual volatility of 3%. At all times, the team balances its VaR allocation between the different strategies, favouring positions with low historical correlations and combining tactical and strategic positions. The fund aims to be duration neutral and has therefore little exposure to interest rate markets.
