| Supplement to Prospectus [Text Block] | Supplement dated June 22, 2026 to the Prospectus and Summary Prospectus, each dated February 1, 2026, as may be revised or supplemented from time to time, for the following fund: LOOMIS SAYLES GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND (the “Fund”) Effective July 1, 2026, Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Fund to limit the amount of the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses to 1.15%, 1.90%, 0.85% and 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C, Class N, and Class Y shares, respectively, exclusive of brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, organizational and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and indemnification expenses. This undertaking is in effect through January 31, 2028. Accordingly, the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table and the Example table within the section “Fund Fees & Expenses” are amended and restated as follows with respect to the Fund: Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Example The example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, except that the examples for Class A, Class C, and Class Y shares are based on the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement assuming that such waiver and/or reimbursement will only be in place through the date noted above and on the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the remaining periods. The example for Class C shares for the ten‑year period reflects the conversion to Class A shares after eight years. The example does not take into account brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries that you may pay on your purchases and sales of shares of the Fund. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
