About NEFSX
Natixis Funds Trust I U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund designed to provide long-term capital growth by investing primarily in U.S. equity securities. The fund leverages a dual-manager approach, combining the value-investing expertise of Harris Associates with the growth-oriented style of Loomis, Sayles & Company. This strategy results in a diversified portfolio spanning various sectors, including significant allocations to financials, communication services, information technology, and health care, as well as exposure across large and mid-cap companies. The fund typically invests at least 80% of its assets in U.S. equities, blending both growth and value stocks to seek balanced opportunities for return. Benchmarking its performance against the S&P 500 and Russell 1000 indices, it aims for risk-aware participation in broad market trends. With an expense ratio around 1.07% and a portfolio of approximately 79 holdings, the fund maintains a concentrated yet diversified stance, with its top 10 holdings representing just under 30% of total assets.
