Security Policy

Natixis Global Asset Management is dedicated to creating and maintaining a site that gives investors access to information about our services. This Security Policy outlines the standards that we have created in an effort to protect the information that you might provide while using this site. There are several terms you should be familiar with as you read this policy:

• Protected: This term is used to describe a website or area of a website for which a consent form must be completed before accessing. It is important to remember that a protected site is not necessarily a secure site.
• Cookies: Cookies are tiny data files that can be put on a user’s hard drive upon visiting a website. These files enable the site to identify repeat visitors and tailor the site to their preferences. Cookies will not affect the performance of your computer.

Specific Natixis Global Asset Management standards with regard to personal information are as follows:

• Use of Cookies: We may use cookies when users enter our site. This will allow us to identify the user, observe which sections of the site are visited, gain insight into which areas of the site are most frequently used, and enable us to tailor the site to individual needs. The cookies used in the protected areas of the site will reside on the user's computer.
  
  A temporary cookie may also be used on protected and unprotected sections of our site in order to relay information that is input on one page of the site by the shareholder to other areas that require the same information (e.g. different financial calculators). This relieves the user of having to input the same data on multiple pages. Temporary cookies will not be placed on your computer's hard drive and are only used during the current session; they are discarded once you terminate your session.
  
  You can set up your browser in such a way that you are alerted each time cookies are created, or to prevent the creation of cookies. We advise you that you can decline to receive cookies by setting up your browser to stop their installation or delete them (see below). However, if you opt not to accept them you will not be able to visit this website.
