- Natixis Funds Trust I - Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund (NEFJX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small-capitalization companies, including common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and other equity-like instruments; it primarily focuses on undervalued small-cap stocks exhibiting strong earnings growth potential, temporary information inefficiencies, and liquidity opportunities within the small-cap universe, with a portfolio emphasizing high-conviction positions in sectors such as financial services, industrials, consumer cyclical, basic materials, and technology. The fund, domiciled in the United States and available primarily to U.S. investors, maintains a blend investment style targeting small-cap companies with market capitalizations typically within the Russell 2000 Value Index range; it offers Class A shares with a front-end load of 5.75%, a net expense ratio of 1.25%, and minimum initial investment of $2,500, while holding diversified assets totaling approximately $1.33 billion as of recent data, including top holdings like iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF, Cushman & Wakefield PLC, and various regional banks. Managed by Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P., a Houston-based boutique affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers founded in 1970 and overseeing $17.3 billion in assets as of June 30, 2025, the fund is subadvised by a team led by Christopher Wallis since 2004 and James Eisenman since 2022. Launched on December 31, 1996, the fund operates under Natixis Funds Trust I, with principal offices at 888 Boylston Street, Suite 800, Boston, Massachusetts. In a significant recent development, effective July 22, 2025, Natixis Distribution ceased accepting additional investments into the fund from both new and existing shareholders, effectively closing it to further inflows amid capacity management efforts by Vaughan Nelson, while permitting redemptions to continue.
