    Rather cryptic until one realizes that Loomis Sayles is merely rearranging its share classes today. Retail and I shares no longer exist, so of course they can't be purchased or redeemed.

    Class I (this share class) -> Class Y
    Class Retail -> Class A (load waived, grandfathered)

    From a previous supplement:

    "On or about August 31, 2016, any outstanding Retail Class shares of the Fund will be redesignated as Class A shares of the Fund. Also on such date, any outstanding Institutional Class shares of the Fund will be redesignated as Class Y shares of the Fund. ... Retail Class and Institutional Class shares will be available for purchase through the Fund’s Prospectus until the date of such redesignations."
