Message from the Trustees

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

Volatility returned to global equity markets this spring. This change was to be expected after the remarkable advances of the past year, but the headlines from Europe added fuel.

If 2009 can be characterized as a rebound from the liquidity crisis, the investment environment for 2010 is shaping up to be somewhat more difficult, one that requires analysis, insight, innovation, and expertise.

These attributes form the very core of Putnam’s analytic, active-management approach, which seeks to weather short-term periods of market dislocation, while preparing for the expected return of a more positive investing environment. With volatility rising in fixed-income markets, bond investors should benefit from active management as well.

We would like to thank all shareholders who took the time to vote by proxy on a number of issues, including shareholder-friendly management fee changes, which went into effect earlier this year. We would also like to welcome new shareholders to the funds, and thank all of our investors for your continued confidence in Putnam.




About the funds

Pursuing positive returns with less volatility

In response to the considerable financial market volatility investors have experienced in recent years, Putnam Absolute Return Funds are designed to provide helpful diversification to portfolios.

Putnam Absolute Return Funds differ from traditional relative return funds in three important ways. First, absolute return funds pursue positive returns with less volatility over periods of three years or more. Most traditional funds seek outperformance relative to an asset-class benchmark, and their returns may be negative when the benchmark declines. Second, to reduce volatility, absolute return funds isolate and mitigate specific risks that could cause negative results. Third, absolute return funds are independent from traditional benchmarks, giving them the flexibility to invest in a wide range of securities from sectors and markets around the world, and they can adjust the mix of investments as market opportunities change. In short, absolute return funds are less constrained than funds that focus on outperforming a traditional stock or bond benchmark.

In addition to these features, Putnam Absolute Return 500 Fund and 700 Fund are backed by experts in Putnam’s Global Asset Allocation Group. These professionals use advanced risk management techniques, such as active trading strategies designed to exploit market inefficiencies. These tools can help mitigate downside risk and potentially help the funds outperform general markets during flat or negative market conditions.

Consider these risks before investing: Asset allocation decisions may not always be correct and may adversely affect fund performance. The use of leverage through derivatives may magnify this risk. Leverage and derivatives carry other risks that may result in losses, including the effects of unexpected market shifts and/or the potential illiquidity of certain derivatives. International investments carry risks of volatile currencies, economies, and governments, and emerging-market securities can be illiquid. Bonds are affected by changes in interest rates, credit conditions, and inflation. As interest rates rise, prices of bonds fall. Long-term bonds are more sensitive to interest-rate risk than short-term bonds, while lower-rated bonds may offer higher yields in return for more risk. Unlike bonds, bond funds have ongoing fees and expenses. Stocks of small and/or midsize companies increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. REITs involve the risks of real estate investing, including declining property values. Commodities involve the risks of changes in market, political, regulatory, and natural conditions. Additional risks are listed in the funds’ prospectus.

Recurring volatility shows
the need for absolute returns

As a result of the historical events below, stocks and bonds experienced setbacks. That is why it is important to diversify a portfolio with an absolute return fund.

Inflation The Consumer Price Index rose 13.5% in 1980, and long-term government bonds fell 3.95%. (Source: Ibbotson Long-Term U.S. Government Total Return Index.)

Market panics On Black Monday, October 19, 1987, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 23% in one day.

Global conflicts After the September 11 attacks in 2001, the S&P 500 dropped 7.1% when the stock market re-opened days later.

Financial crises After the Lehman Brothers collapse in September 2008, stocks, bonds, and global markets fell, and even investment-grade bonds lost value, declining 2.4% in October 2008. (Source: Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index.)

As stocks went up and down and Treasury bills were flat,
Putnam Absolute Return 500 Fund and 700 Fund
pursued their three-year return targets.




Performance
snapshot

Annualized total return (%) comparison as of 4/30/10


Current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted past performance, which cannot guarantee future results. Share price, principal value, and return will fluctuate, and you may have a gain or a loss when you sell your shares. Performance of class A shares assumes reinvestment of distributions and does not account for taxes. Fund returns in the bar chart do not reflect a sales charge of 5.75%; had they, returns would have been lower. See pages 5 and 10–12 for additional performance information. For a portion of the periods, these funds may have limited expenses, without which returns would have been lower. A 1% short-term trading fee may apply.

Interview with your
fund’s portfolio manager

Jeff Knight

Jeff, we saw some renewed bouts of volatility
in stock and bond markets during
the semiannual period. How did Putnam
Absolute Return 500 Fund and Putnam
Absolute Return 700 Fund perform?

During the period, markets began to transition away from the broad-based recovery of 2009 and toward greater volatility. This sort of change is normal at this stage of a business cycle, though some of the specific triggers, such as the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, are unique to this cycle and require close attention. Fortunately, the funds continued to deliver positive results. Class A shares of the 500 Fund produced a return of 3.38% in the 6-month period, and class A shares of the 700 Fund returned 4.17% over the same period. These funds do not have a traditional stock or bond benchmark. Their return targets are established for a three-year period, which does not align with the shorter time period of this report. As a reference point, Treasury bills returned a mere 0.08% over the past six months.

How did you keep the funds on a positive
course as market volatility returned?

We saw strong results from a number of strategies in the funds, particularly the U.S. large-cap stocks and fixed-income holdings. Although stocks fell during January in the early phases of Greece’s debt crisis, the U.S. economy’s momentum continued throughout the period, helping to push corporate earnings higher and supporting the stock market’s ascent. Our stock selections performed even better than the market in general. Among the top contributors were Qwest in the telecommunications sector and Bank of America.

How did fixed-income securities contribute
to performance?

The fixed-income returns continued to be powered by attractive yields and price

appreciation, extending their recovery from the unprecedented low price levels they reached in 2008. Examples of the funds’ holdings include non-government agency residential mortgage securities with some credit risk. We favor these securities because there are still questions about the housing market that are keeping security prices attractive. We think housing prices are likely to fall moderately from current levels, and so we have selected securities that we think can still have a positive return if home prices fall moderately, or even dramatically. Another fixed-income strategy that helped results involves mortgage prepayments. There has been an inconsistency in the markets today in which the markets are pricing securities as if mortgage prepayments were occurring at the same rate as they did several years ago, even though prepayments are down by half because people who are underwater on their mortgages cannot refinance. To profit from this mispricing, we have held interest-only [IO] collateralized mortgage obligation securities [CMOs] in the portfolio.

What securities detracted from performance?

We supplemented our major strategies in equities and fixed-income securities with a number of smaller strategies, such as sector allocations and exposure to commodities, high-yield corporate bonds, and emerging-markets stocks, as well as some options strategies. This reflects our flexibility to invest in a wide variety of securities and to diverge from conventional benchmarks. By pursuing this wide range of opportunities, our goal is to keep the funds on track toward their return targets with low volatility, while not depending on any individual strategy. On balance, these smaller strategies generally helped performance, but there were some that detracted from results. For example, small positions in emerging-market stocks had a setback when emerging markets in general fell during January. We added a bit more when prices were weak, and the holdings rallied for a while until the final month of the period. In April, with the rising volatility in Europe, emerging markets declined again. At the same time, the funds’ small positions in international government bonds also

declined. But these disappointments were small in comparison to the strategies that worked for the funds.

As the manager of absolute return funds,
what is your perspective on the transition in
market trends and the jump in volatility?

This financial market recovery has followed a classic script. The rally began in March 2009, near the mid point of the recession in the economy, which fits a historical pattern. It lasted for several quarters, when you take into account the first few months of 2010. Since we have researched past recoveries, we had anticipated the next phase: more modest gains focused in fewer sectors, with a higher degree of volatility. The debt crisis in Europe appears to be a catalyst in making this transition. In other words, the strong upward movement of the market was losing its steam, and the situation in Europe hastened the transition to a new trend.

With an absolute return strategy, we have many tools to position the portfolios for a major shift in market trends. I think it is important to say that we do not simply retreat from the markets when circumstances become more difficult. Our focus is on the funds’ return objectives and their low-risk profiles, but we don’t lose our peripheral vision, you might say. We actively seek out opportunities that arise in any type of market conditions, and we look for a wide variety of potential strategies that are unrelated to each other. A high degree of diversification can help to limit risk. And when markets become turbulent, securities are often mispriced, which provides opportunities to help us pursue the funds’ target returns.

How are you positioning the funds given the
concerns about sovereign debt?

The intent of the funds is to help investors get through these swings in the markets without experiencing substantial volatility. With the

course of events so unclear, we implemented a number of different strategies. Some were intended to work if there were a quicker resolution to the problems, and some were designed to protect the portfolios if the situation worsened. One step was simply to reevaluate current holdings. We believe the equity and fixed-income holdings in the funds, for example, continue to offer attractive valuations, especially since markets have pulled back from their higher levels of recent months. So we continue to have confidence in our major strategies. We also began in April to use our flexibility to hedge against market declines using put options. It was a modest but helpful strategy as volatility increased. In addition to these steps, we also began to look more closely at the opportunities generated by market volatility in sovereign bonds. Yields on the bonds of several governments have risen dramatically. Given the possibility that some of these bonds are likely to deliver attractive returns because the discounts are significant, we have been analyzing the opportunities, though we remain cautious because volatility is so high.

What is your outlook for markets and the
fund? Is the current crisis likely to derail the
recovery in the market or the economy?

We are monitoring this situation closely. For now it appears that the economic recovery is intact, and corporate earnings appear to be on course to grow strongly. But we monitor a number of signals about the market and the economy, and it is fair to say that some of these have turned more negative in recent months than they were at the start of the year. Clearly, the government debt situation is a major problem for the global economy, but there is still a way forward that can keep the economic recovery and financial markets on track. With the absolute return strategy, we are fortunate to have a number of tools available to us as these events play out, both to protect the portfolios from volatility and to seize opportunities that can help the funds stay on course and pursue their return targets.

Jeff, thanks for sharing your views with
us today.

IN THE NEWS

The first-quarter earnings season is shaping up to be one for the history books. With 172 of the S&P 500 companies reporting, 83% have beaten earnings analysts’ expectations, a record pace, according to Thomson Reuters Research. In a typical quarter, 61% of companies beat estimates. Both top-line (sales) and bottom-line earnings (profits) are coming in above expectations. What’s more, the companies have exceeded consensus earnings estimates by 16%, the highest “surprise factor” on record. Companies that undertook aggressive cost-cutting during the economic downturn have added to their bottom lines. Now many of those firms are experiencing rising sales, which is essential to sustained, long-term growth.

Your fund’s expenses

As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees, distribution fees (12b-1 fees), and other expenses. In the most recent six-month period, your fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. Using the following information, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds. You may also pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial representative.

Compare expenses using the SEC’s method

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the following table shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total costs) of investing in the fund with those of other funds. All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

Terms and definitions

Important terms

Total return shows how the value of each fund’s shares changed over time, assuming you held the shares through the entire period and reinvested all distributions in the fund.

Net asset value (NAV) is the price, or value, of one share of a mutual fund, without a sales charge. NAVs fluctuate with market conditions. NAV is calculated by dividing the net assets of each class of shares by the number of outstanding shares in the class.

Public offering price (POP) is the price of a mutual fund share plus the maximum sales charge levied at the time of purchase. POP performance figures shown here assume the 5.75% maximum sales charge for class A shares and 3.50% for class M shares.

Contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is generally a charge applied at the time of the redemption of class B or C shares and assumes redemption at the end of the period. Your fund’s class B CDSC declines from a 5% maximum during the first year to 1% during the sixth year. After the sixth year, the CDSC no longer applies. The CDSC for class C shares is 1% for one year after purchase.

Share classes

Class A shares are generally subject to an initial sales charge and no CDSC (except on certain redemptions of shares bought without an initial sales charge).

Class B shares are not subject to an initial sales charge. They may be subject to a CDSC.

Class C shares are not subject to an initial sales charge and are subject to a CDSC only if the shares are redeemed during the first year.

Class M shares have a lower initial sales charge and a higher 12b-1 fee than class A shares and no CDSC (except on certain redemptions of shares bought without an initial sales charge).

Class R shares are not subject to an initial sales charge or CDSC and are available only to certain defined contribution plans.

Class Y shares are not subject to an initial sales charge or CDSC, and carry no 12b-1 fee. They are generally only available to corporate and institutional clients and clients in other approved programs.

Comparative indexes

Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. investment-grade fixed-income securities.

Barclays Capital Government Bond Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. Treasury and government agency bonds.

BofA (Bank of America) Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of U.S. dollar denominated U.S. Treasury Bills publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. Qualifying securities must have a remaining term of at least one month to final maturity and a minimum amount outstanding of $1 billion.

S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of common stock performance.

Indexes assume reinvestment of all distributions and do not account for fees. Securities and performance of a fund and an index will differ. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Financial statements

A guide to financial statements

These sections of the report, as well as the accompanying Notes, constitute the fund’s financial statements.

The fund’s portfolio lists all the fund’s investments and their values as of the last day of the reporting period. Holdings are organized by asset type and industry sector, country, or state to show areas of concentration and diversification.

Statement of assets and liabilities shows how the fund’s net assets and share price are determined. All investment and non-investment assets are added together. Any unpaid expenses and other liabilities are subtracted from this total. The result is divided by the number of shares to determine the net asset value per share, which is calculated separately for each class of shares. (For funds with preferred shares, the amount subtracted from total assets includes the liquidation preference of preferred shares.)

Statement of operations shows the fund’s net investment gain or loss. This is done by first adding up all the fund’s earnings — from dividends and interest income — and subtracting its operating expenses to determine net investment income (or loss). Then, any net gain or loss the fund realized on the sales of its holdings — as well as any unrealized gains or losses over the period — is added to or subtracted from the net investment result to determine the fund’s net gain or loss for the fiscal period.

Statement of changes in net assets shows how the fund’s net assets were affected by the fund’s net investment gain or loss, by distributions to shareholders, and by changes in the number of the fund’s shares. It lists distributions and their sources (net investment income or realized capital gains) over the current reporting period and the most recent fiscal year-end. The distributions listed here may not match the sources listed in the Statement of operations because the distributions are determined on a tax basis and may be paid in a different period from the one in which they were earned. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. Actual results may vary. Any non-taxable return of capital cannot be determined until final tax calculations are completed after the end of the fund’s fiscal year.

Financial highlights provide an overview of the fund’s investment results, per-share distributions, expense ratios, net investment income ratios, and portfolio turnover in one summary table, reflecting the five most recent reporting periods. In a semiannual report, the highlights table also includes the current reporting period.

c Senior loans are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, but contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. These loans pay interest at rates which adjust periodically. The interest rates shown for senior loans are the current interest rates at the close of the reporting period. Senior loans are also subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment which cannot be predicted.

* Payments related to the referenced debt are made upon a credit default event.

** Upfront premium is based on the difference between the original spread on issue and the market spread on day of execution.

*** Ratings are presented for credit default contracts in which the fund has sold protection on the underlying referenced debt. Ratings for an underlying index represent the average of the ratings of all the securities included in that index. The Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or Fitch ratings are believed to be the most recent ratings available at April 30, 2010.

ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the fund’s investments. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Notes to financial statements 4/30/10 (Unaudited)

Note 1: Significant accounting policies

Putnam Absolute Return 500 and 700 Funds (the funds) are each a diversified series of Putnam Funds Trust (the trust), a Massachusetts business trust, which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The funds seek to earn a positive total return that exceeds, by a particular amount, the rate of inflation, as reflected by the return of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury Bill Index over a reasonable period of time regardless of market conditions or general market direction. The funds pursue their goals through portfolios that are structured to offer varying degrees of risk, expected volatility and expected returns. The funds will invest primarily in a broadly diversified portfolio reflecting uncorrelated fixed income strategies designed to exploit market inefficiencies across global markets and fixed income sectors. The fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in securitized debt instruments, including mortgage-backed and asset-backed investments. The yields and values of these investments are sensitive to changes in interest rates, the rate of principal payments on the underlying assets and the market’s perception of the issuers. The market for these investments may be volatile and limited, which may make them difficult to buy or sell.

Each fund offers class A, class B, class C, class M, class R and class Y shares. Class A and class M shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% and 3.50%, respectively, and generally do not pay a contingent deferred sales charge. Class B shares, which convert to class A shares after approximately eight years, do not pay a front-end sales charge and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, if those shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. Class C shares have a one-year 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge and do not convert to class A shares. Class R shares, which are offered to qualified employee-benefit plans, are sold at net asset value. The expenses for class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares may differ based on the distribution fee of each class, which is identified in Note 2. Class Y shares, which are sold at net asset value, are generally subject to the same expenses as class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares, but do not bear a distribution fee. Class Y shares are generally only available to corporate and institutional clients and clients in other approved programs.

A 1.00% redemption fee may apply on any shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging into another fund) within 7 days of purchase. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in-capital.

Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses of each fund are borne pro-rata based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the distribution fees applicable to such classes). Each class votes as a class only with respect to its own distribution plan or other matters on which a class vote is required by law or determined by the Trustees. If the fund were liquidated, shares of each class would receive their pro-rata share of the net assets of the fund. In addition, the Trustees declare separate dividends on each class of shares.

In the normal course of business, the funds enter into contracts that may include agreements to indemnify another party under given circumstances. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be, but have not yet been, made against the fund. However, the fund’s management team expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the period from November 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010 (the reporting period). Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events after the Statement of assets and liabilities date through the date that the financial statements were issued, June 14, 2010, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.

A) Security valuation Market quotations are not considered to be readily available for certain debt obligations; such investments are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees or dealers selected by Putnam Investment Management, LLC (Putnam Management), the funds’ manager, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Investments, LLC. Such services or dealers determine valuations for normal institutional-size trading units of such securities using methods based on market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships, generally recognized by institutional traders, between securities (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings). Securities quoted in foreign currencies, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. To the extent a pricing service or dealer is unable to value a

80



security or provides a valuation that Putnam Management does not believe accurately reflects the security’s fair value, the security will be valued at fair value by Putnam Management. Certain investments, including certain restricted and illiquid securities and derivatives, are also valued at fair value following procedures approved by the Trustees. Such valuations and procedures are reviewed periodically by the Trustees. Certain securities may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a single source. The fair value of securities is generally determined as the amount that the fund could reasonably expect to realize from an orderly disposition of such securities over a reasonable period of time. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the value of a security in a current sale and does not reflect an actual market price, which may be different by a material amount.

B) Security transactions and related investment income Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Gains or losses on securities sold are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income, net of applicable withholding taxes, is recognized on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities, if any, are recognized as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Dividends representing a return of capital or capital gains, if any, are reflected as a reduction of cost and/or as a realized gain. All premiums/discounts are amortized/accreted on a yield-to-maturity basis.

Securities purchased or sold on a delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date; interest income is accrued based on the terms of the securities. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

The funds earned certain fees in connection with their senior loan purchasing activities. These fees are treated as market discount and are amortized into income in the Statement of operations.

C) Stripped securities Each fund may invest in stripped securities which represent a participation in securities that may be structured in classes with rights to receive different portions of the interest and principal. Interest-only securities receive all of the interest and principal-only securities receive all of the principal. If the interest-only securities experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the fund may fail to recoup fully its initial investment in these securities. Conversely, principal-only securities increase in value if prepayments are greater than anticipated and decline if prepayments are slower than anticipated. The market value of these securities is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.

D) Foreign currency translation The accounting records of the funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market value of foreign securities, currency holdings, and other assets and liabilities is recorded in the books and records of the funds after translation to U.S. dollars based on the exchange rates on that day. The cost of each security is determined using historical exchange rates. Income and withholding taxes are translated at prevailing exchange rates when earned or incurred. The funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. Such gains and losses are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net realized exchange gains or losses on closed forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies arise from changes in the value of open forward currency contracts and assets and liabilities other than investments at the period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Investments in foreign securities involve certain risks, including those related to economic instability, unfavorable political developments, and currency fluctuations, not present with domestic investments.

E) Futures and options contracts Each fund may use futures and options contracts to hedge against changes in the values of securities the fund owns, owned or expects to purchase, or for other investment purposes. The fund may also write options on swaps or securities it owns or in which it may invest to increase its current returns.

The potential risk to the funds is that the change in value of futures and options contracts may not correspond to the change in value of the hedged instruments. In addition, losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, if interest or exchange rates move unexpectedly or if the counterparty to the contract is unable to perform. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses

81



on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction to the cost of investments.

Futures contracts are valued at the quoted daily settlement prices established by the exchange on which they trade. The fund and the broker agree to exchange an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the futures contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin.” Exchange traded options are valued at the last sale price or, if no sales are reported, the last bid price for purchased options and the last ask price for written options. Options traded over-the-counter are valued using prices supplied by dealers. Futures and written option contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the funds’ portfolios.

The funds had average contract amounts of approximately $36,500,000 and $36,100,000 (for the 500 Fund and 700 Fund, respectively) on purchased options contracts for the reporting period.

See Note 3 for the volume of written options contracts activity for the reporting period.

The funds had average contract amounts of approximately 1,000 (for both the 500 Fund and 700 Fund) on futures contracts for the reporting period.

F) Total return swap contracts Each fund may enter into total return swap contracts, which are arrangements to exchange a market linked return for a periodic payment, both based on a notional principal amount to help enhance each fund’s return and manage each fund’s exposure to credit risk. To the extent that the total return of the security, index or other financial measure underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Total return swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. Certain total return swap contracts may include extended effective dates. Payments related to these swap contracts are accrued based on the terms of the contract. The fund could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or in the price of the underlying security or index, the possibility that there is no liquid market for these agreements or that the counterparty may default on its obligation to perform. The fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, is the fair value of the contract. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the fund and the counterparty. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Total return swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the funds’ portfolios.

The funds had average notional amounts of approximately $6,500,000 and $6,700,000 (on the 500 Fund and the 700 Fund, respectively) on total return swap contracts for the reporting period.

G) Interest rate swap contracts Each fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts, which are arrangements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount, to manage the fund’s exposure to interest rates. An interest rate swap can be purchased or sold with an upfront premium. An upfront payment received by the fund is recorded as a liability on the fund’s books. An upfront payment made by the fund is recorded as an asset on the fund’s books. Interest rate swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. Certain interest rate swap contracts may include extended effective dates. Payments related to these swap contracts are accrued based on the terms of the contract. The fund could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or if the counterparty defaults on its obligation to perform. The fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, is the fair value of the contract. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the fund and the counterparty. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Interest rate swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the funds’ portfolios.

The funds had average notional amounts of approximately $592,500,000 and $667,200,000 (on the 500 Fund and the 700 Fund, respectively) on interest rate swap contracts for the reporting period.

H) Credit default contracts Each fund may enter into credit default contracts to provide a measure of protection against risk of loss following a default, or other credit event in respect of issuers within an underlying index or a single issuer, or to gain credit exposure to an underlying index or issuer. In a credit default contract, the protection buyer typically makes an up front payment and a periodic stream of payments to a counterparty, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a credit event on the reference obligation or all other equally ranked obligations of the reference entity. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. An upfront payment received

82



by the fund, as the protection seller, is recorded as a liability on the fund’s books. An upfront payment made by the fund, as the protection buyer, is recorded as an asset on the fund’s books. Periodic payments received or paid by the fund are recorded as realized gains or losses. The credit default contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the difference between the par value and market value of the reference obligation, net of any proportional amount of the upfront payment, is recorded as a realized gain or loss.

In addition to bearing the risk that the credit event will occur, each fund could be exposed to market risk due to unfavorable changes in interest rates or in the price of the underlying security or index or the possibility that the fund may be unable to close out its position at the same time or at the same price as if it had purchased the underlying reference obligations. In certain circumstances, the fund may enter into offsetting credit default contracts which would mitigate its risk of loss. Risks of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. The fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the fund and the counterparty. Where the fund is a seller of protection, the maximum potential amount of future payments the fund may be required to make is equal to the notional amount of the relevant credit default contract. Credit default contracts outstanding, including their respective notional amounts at period end, if any, are listed after the funds’ portfolios.

The funds had average notional amounts of approximately $13,700,000 and $18,100,000 (on the 500 Fund and the 700 Fund, respectively) on credit default swap contracts for the reporting period.

I) Master agreements Each fund is a party to ISDA (International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements (Master Agreements) with certain counterparties that govern over-the-counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreements, collateral posted to the funds is held in a segregated account by the fund’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or repledged, are presented in the fund’s portfolio. Collateral pledged by the fund is segregated by the fund’s custodian and identified in the fund’s portfolio. Collateral can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. Government or related agencies or other securities as agreed to by the fund and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the fund’s net position with each counterparty. Termination events applicable to the fund may occur upon a decline in the fund’s net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time. Termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in the counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all derivative and foreign exchange contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of the funds’ counterparties to elect early termination could impact the fund’s future derivative activity.

At the close of the reporting period, the 500 fund had a net liability position of $11,088,510 on derivative contracts subject to the Master Agreements. Collateral posted by the fund totaled $9,235,055.

At the close of the reporting period, the 700 fund had a net liability position of $13,110,509 on derivative contracts subject to the Master Agreements. Collateral posted by the fund totaled $11,455,013.

J) TBA purchase commitments Each fund may enter into TBA (to be announced) commitments to purchase securities for a fixed unit price at a future date beyond customary settlement time. Although the unit price has been established, the principal value has not been finalized. However, it is anticipated that the amount of the commitments will not significantly differ from the principal amount. The fund holds, and maintains until settlement date, cash or high-grade debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price, or the fund may enter into offsetting contracts for the forward sale of other securities it owns. Income on the securities will not be earned until settlement date. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date, which risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the fund’s other assets. Unsettled TBA purchase commitments are valued at fair value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Security valuation” above. The contract is marked to market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss.

Although the fund will generally enter into TBA purchase commitments with the intention of acquiring securities for its portfolio or for delivery pursuant to options contracts it has entered into, the fund may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if Putnam Management deems it appropriate to do so.

K) TBA sale commitments Each fund may enter into TBA sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as “cover” for the transaction.

Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the fair value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under “Security valuation” above. The contract is marked to market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting TBA purchase commitment, the fund realizes a gain or loss. If the fund delivers securities under the commitment, the fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into. TBA sale commitments outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the fund’s portfolios.

L) Dollar rolls To enhance returns, each fund may enter into dollar rolls (principally using TBAs) in which the fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to purchase similar securities on a specified future date. During the period between the sale and subsequent purchase, the fund will not be entitled to receive income and principal payments on the securities sold. The fund will, however, retain the difference between the initial sales price and the forward price for the future purchase. The fund will also be able to earn interest on the cash proceeds that are received from the initial sale, on settlement date. The fund may be exposed to market or credit risk if the price of the security changes unfavorably or the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the agreement.

M) Federal taxes It is the policy of each fund to distribute all of its taxable income within the prescribed time and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), applicable to regulated investment companies. It is also the intention of the fund to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Code. Each fund is subject to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The funds did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. No provision has been made for federal taxes on income, capital gains or unrealized appreciation on securities held nor for excise tax on income and capital gains. Each fund’s federal tax return for the prior fiscal year remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

The aggregate identified cost on a tax basis is as follows:

        Net 
  Cost  Appreciation  Depreciation  Appreciation 

500 Fund  $514,835,982  $11,134,870  $(3,047,686)  $8,087,184 

700 Fund  477,713,424  12,625,879  (3,589,835)  9,036,044 


N) Distributions to shareholders Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are recorded by the fund on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. Actual results may vary. Any non-taxable return of capital cannot be determined until final tax calculations are completed after the end of the fund’s fiscal year. Reclassifications are made to the fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations.

O) Expenses of the trust Expenses directly charged or attributable to any fund will be paid from the assets of that fund. Generally, expenses of the Trust will be allocated among and charged to the assets of each fund on a basis that the Trustees deem fair and equitable, which may be based on the relative assets of each fund or the nature of the services performed and relative applicability to each fund.

P) Offering costs The offering costs of $125,939 (for the 500 Fund and the 700 Fund) have been fully amortized on a straight-line basis over a twelve-month period as of December 23, 2009. As of the close of the reporting period, the fund has reimbursed Putnam Management for the payment of these expenses.

84



Note 2: Management fee, administrative services and other transactions

Prior to February 1, 2010, the fund paid Putnam Management for management and investment advisory services monthly based on the average net assets of the fund. Such fee was based on the following annual rates:

500 Portfolio: 0.80% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.70% of the next $500 million, 0.65% of the next $500 million, 0.60% of the next $5 billion, 0.575% of the next $5 billion, 0.555% of the next $5 billion, 0.54% of the next $5 billion and 0.53% thereafter.

700 Portfolio: 0.95% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.85% of the next $500 million, 0.80% of the next $500 million, 0.75% of the next $5 billion, 0.725% of the next $5 billion, 0.705% of the next $5 billion, 0.69% of the next $5 billion and 0.68% thereafter.

Effective February 1, 2010, the fund pays Putnam Management a management fee (base fee) (based on the fund’s average net assets and computed and paid monthly) at annual rates that may vary based on the average of the aggregate net assets of most open-end funds, as defined in the fund’s management contract, sponsored by Putnam Management. Such annual rates may vary as follows:

500 Portfolio: 0.88% of the first $5 billion of average net assets, 0.83% of the next $5 billion, 0.780% of the next $10 billion, 0.730% of the next $10 billion, 0.680% of the next $50 billion, 0.660% of the next $50 billion, 0.650% of the next $100 billion and 0.645% thereafter.

700 Portfolio: 1.030% of the first $5 billion of average net assets, 0.980% of the next $5 billion, 0.930% of the next $10 billion, 0.880% of the next $10 billion, 0.830% of the next $50 billion, 0.810% of the next $50 billion, 0.800% of the next $100 billion and 0.795% thereafter.

Commencing with each fund’s thirteenth whole calendar month of operation (January 2010), the applicable base fee will be increased or decreased for each month by an amount based on the performance of the fund. The amount of the increase or decrease will be calculated monthly based on a performance adjustment rate that is equal to 0.04 multiplied by the difference between the fund’s annualized performance (measured by the fund’s class A shares) and the annualized performance of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury Bill Index plus 5.00% and 7.00% (for 500 Portfolio and 700 Portfolio, respectively), over the performance period. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is +/– 0.20% and +/– 0.28% (for 500 Portfolio and 700 Portfolio, respectively). The performance period will be the thirty-six month period then ended or, if the fund has not then operated for thirty-six whole calendar months, the period from the date the fund commenced operations to the end of the month for which the fee adjustment is being computed. Each month, the performance adjustment rate will be multiplied by the fund’s average net assets over the performance period and the result will be divided by twelve. The resulting dollar amount will be added to, or subtracted from, the base fee for that month. The monthly base fee is determined based on the fund’s average net assets for the month, while the performance adjustment will be determined based on the fund’s average net assets over the performance period of up to thirty-six months. This means it is possible that, if the fund underperforms significantly over the performance period, and the fund’s assets have declined significantly over that period, the negative performance adjustment may exceed the base fee. In this event, Putnam Management would make a payment to the fund.

For the reporting period ended, the base fee represented an effective rate of 0.38% and 0.45% (for the 500 Fund and 700 Fund, respectively) of each fund’s average net assets before an increase of $66,839 and $82,366 (for the 500 Fund and 700 Fund, respectively) (0.02% and 0.03%, of each fund’s average net assets) based on performance.

Putnam Management has agreed to limit its compensation (and, to the extent necessary, bear other expenses) through February 28, 2011, to the extent that expenses of the fund (exclusive of brokerage commissions, interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses, expense off set and brokerage/service arrangements and payments under each fund’s investment management and distribution plans) would exceed an annual rate of 0.45% of the fund’s average net assets. During the reporting period, the funds expenses were reduced by $75,399 and $85,837 (on 500 Fund and 700 Fund, respectively) as a result of this limit.

Effective August 1, 2009 through February 28, 2011, Putnam Management has also contractually agreed to reimburse the fund’s expenses to the extent necessary to limit the cumulative expenses of the fund, exclusive of brokerage, interest, taxes, investment-related expenses, extraordinary expenses and payments under the fund’s investor servicing contract, investment management contract and distribution plans, on a fiscal year-to-date basis (or from August 1, 2009 through the fund’s next fiscal year end, as applicable), to an annual rate of 0.20% of the fund’s average net assets over such fiscal year-to-date period (or since August 1, 2009, as applicable). During the reporting period, the funds’ expenses were not reduced as a result of this limit.

85



Putnam Investments Limited (PIL), an affiliate of Putnam Management, is authorized by the Trustees to manage a separate portion of the assets of the funds as determined by Putnam Management from time to time. Putnam Management pays a quarterly sub-management fee to PIL for its services at an annual rate of 0.35% of the average net assets of the portion of the funds managed by PIL.

The Putnam Advisory Company, LLC (PAC), an affiliate of Putnam Management, is authorized by the Trustees to manage a separate portion of the assets of the funds, as designated from time to time by Putnam Management or PIL. Putnam Management or PIL, as applicable, pays a quarterly sub-advisory fee to PAC for its services at the annual rate of 0.35% of the average net assets of the portion of the funds’ assets for which PAC is engaged as sub-adviser.

Each fund reimburses Putnam Management an allocated amount for the compensation and related expenses of certain officers of the funds and their staff who provide administrative services to the funds. The aggregate amount of all such reimbursements is determined annually by the Trustees.

Custodial functions for each fund’s assets are provided by State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street). Custody fees are based on the funds’ asset level, the number of its security holdings and transaction volumes.

Putnam Investor Services, Inc., an affiliate of Putnam Management, provided investor servicing agent functions to each fund. Putnam Investor Services, Inc. received fees for investor servicing, subject to certain limitations, based on each fund’s retail asset level, the number of shareholder accounts in the fund and the level of defined contribution plan assets in each fund. The amounts incurred for investor servicing agent functions during the reporting period are included in Investor servicing fees in the Statement of operations.

Each fund has entered into expense offset arrangements with Putnam Investor Services, Inc. and State Street whereby Putnam Investor Services, Inc.’s and State Street’s fees are reduced by credits allowed on cash balances. For the reporting period, the funds’ expenses were reduced by $1,008 and $1,037 (for 500 Fund and 700 Fund, respectively) under the expense offset arrangements.

Each independent Trustee of the fund receives an annual Trustee fee, of which $305 and $268 (for 500 Fund and 700 Fund, respectively), as a quarterly retainer, has been allocated to each fund, and an additional fee for each Trustees meeting attended. Trustees receive additional fees for attendance at certain committee meetings and industry seminars and for certain compliance-related matters. Trustees also are reimbursed for expenses they incur relating to their services as Trustees.

Each fund has adopted a Trustee Fee Deferral Plan (the Deferral Plan) which allows the Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of Trustees fees payable on or after July 1, 1995. The deferred fees remain invested in certain Putnam funds until distribution in accordance with the Deferral Plan.

Each fund has adopted an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the Pension Plan) covering all Trustees of each fund who have served as a Trustee for at least five years and were first elected prior to 2004. Benefits under the Pension Plan are equal to 50% of the Trustee’s average annual attendance and retainer fees for the three years ended December 31, 2005. The retirement benefit is payable during a Trustee’s lifetime, beginning the year following retirement, for the number of years of service through December 31, 2006. Pension expense for each fund is included in Trustee compensation and expenses in the Statement of operations. Accrued pension liability is included in Payable for Trustee compensation and expenses in the Statement of assets and liabilities. The Trustees have terminated the Pension Plan with respect to any Trustee first elected after 2003.

Each fund has adopted distribution plans (the Plans) with respect to its class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The purpose of the Plans is to compensate Putnam Retail Management Limited Partnership, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Investments, LLC and Putnam Retail Management GP, Inc., for services provided and expenses incurred in distributing shares of each fund. The Plans provide for payments by each fund to Putnam Retail Management Limited Partnership at an annual rate of up to 0.35%, 1.00%, 1.00% , 1.00% and 1.00% of the average net assets attributable to class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares, respectively. The Trustees have approved payment by each fund at an annual rate of 0.25%, 1.00%, 1.00%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average net assets attributable to class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares, respectively.

Note 6: Initial capitalization and offering of shares

Each fund was established as a series of the trust on September 12, 2008 and commenced operations on December 23, 2008.

Note 7: Investment in Putnam Money Market Liquidity Fund

Each fund invested in Putnam Money Market Liquidity Fund, an open-end management investment company managed by Putnam Management. Investments in Putnam Money Market Liquidity Fund are valued at its closing net asset value each business day. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as interest income in the Statement of operations and totaled $59,008 and $35,542 (for the 500 Fund and the 700 Fund, respectively) for the reporting period. During the reporting period, cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investments in Putnam Money Market Liquidity Fund aggregated as follows:

  Cost of purchases  Proceeds of sales 

500 Fund  $271,945,566  $225,300,840 

700 Fund  245,378,431  208,814,718 


Management fees charged to Putnam Money Market Liquidity Fund have been waived by Putnam Management.

Note 8: Senior loan commitments

Senior loans are purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and may be settled a month or more after the trade date, which from time to time can delay the actual investment of available cash balances; interest income is accrued based on the terms of the securities. Senior loans can be acquired through an agent, by assignment from another holder of the loan, or as a participation interest in another holder’s portion of the loan. When the fund invests in a loan or participation, the fund is subject to the risk that an intermediate participant between the fund and the borrower will fail to meet its obligations to the fund, in addition to the risk that the borrower under the loan may default on its obligations.

Note 9: Regulatory matters and litigation

In late 2003 and 2004, Putnam Management settled charges brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and the Massachusetts Securities Division in connection with excessive short-term trading in Putnam funds. Distribution of payments from Putnam Management to certain open-end Putnam funds and their shareholders is expected to be completed in the next several months. These allegations and related matters have served as the general basis for certain lawsuits, including purported class action lawsuits against Putnam Management and, in a limited number of cases, some Putnam funds. Putnam Management believes that these lawsuits will have no material adverse effect on the funds or on Putnam Management’s ability to provide investment management services. In addition, Putnam Management has agreed to bear any costs incurred by the Putnam funds as a result of these matters.

Note 10: Market and credit risk

In the normal course of business, the fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the contracting party to the transaction to perform (credit risk). The fund may be exposed to additional credit risk that an institution or other entity with which the fund has unsettled or open transactions will default.

Services for shareholders

Investor services

Systematic investment plan Tell us how much you wish to invest regularly — weekly, semimonthly, or monthly — and the amount you choose will be transferred automatically from your checking or savings account. There’s no additional fee for this service, and you can suspend it at any time. This plan may be a great way to save for college expenses or to plan for your retirement.

Please note that regular investing does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Before arranging a systematic investment plan, consider your financial ability to continue making purchases in periods when prices are low.

Systematic exchange You can make regular transfers from one Putnam fund to another Putnam fund. There are no additional fees for this service, and you can cancel or change your options at any time.

Dividends PLUS You can choose to have the dividend distributions from one of your Putnam funds automatically reinvested in another Putnam fund at no additional charge.

Free exchange privilege You can exchange money between Putnam funds free of charge, as long as they are the same class of shares. A signature guarantee is required if you are exchanging more than $500,000.

Reinstatement privilege If you’ve sold Putnam shares or received a check for a dividend or capital gain, you may reinvest the proceeds with Putnam within 90 days of the transaction and they will be reinvested at the fund’s current net asset value — with no sales charge. However, reinstatement of class B shares may have special tax consequences. Ask your financial or tax representative for details.

Check-writing service You have ready access to many Putnam accounts. It’s as simple as writing a check, and there are no special fees or service charges. For more information about the check-writing service, call Putnam or visit our Web site.

Dollar cost averaging When you’re investing for long-term goals, it’s time, not timing, that counts. Investing on a systematic basis is a better strategy than trying to figure out when the markets will go up or down. This means investing the same amount of money regularly over a long period. This method of investing is called dollar cost averaging. When a fund’s share price declines, your investment dollars buy more shares at lower prices. When it increases, they buy fewer shares. Over time, you will pay a lower average price per share.

Message from the Trustees

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

Volatility has returned to global equity markets this spring. This change was to be expected after the remarkable advances of the past year, but the headlines from Europe added fuel.

If 2009 can be characterized as a rebound from the liquidity crisis, the investment environment for 2010 is shaping up to be somewhat more difficult, one that requires analysis, insight, innovation, and expertise.

These attributes form the very core of Putnam’s analytic, active-management approach, which seeks to weather short-term periods of market dislocation, while preparing for the expected return of a more positive investing environment. With volatility rising in fixed-income markets, bond investors should benefit from active management as well.

We would like to thank all shareholders who took the time to vote by proxy on a number of issues, including shareholder-friendly management fee changes, which went into effect earlier this year. We would also like to welcome new shareholders to the funds, and thank all of our investors for your continued confidence in Putnam.




About the funds

Pursuing positive returns with less volatility

In response to the considerable financial market volatility investors have experienced in recent years, Putnam Absolute Return Funds are designed to provide helpful diversification to portfolios.

Putnam Absolute Return Funds differ from traditional relative return funds in three important ways. First, absolute return funds pursue positive returns with less volatility over periods of three years or more. Most traditional funds seek outperformance relative to an asset-class benchmark, and their returns may be negative when the benchmark declines. Second, to reduce volatility, absolute return funds isolate and mitigate specific risks that could cause negative results. Third, absolute return funds are independent from traditional benchmarks, giving them the flexibility to invest in a wide range of securities from sectors and markets around the world, and they can adjust the mix of investments as market opportunities change. In short, absolute return funds are less constrained than funds that focus on outperforming a traditional stock or bond benchmark.

In addition to these features, Putnam Absolute Return 100 Fund and 300 Fund are backed by Putnam’s comprehensive fixed-income investment resources. Nearly 80 bond experts cover every fixed-income sector in global markets. They use advanced risk management techniques such as active trading strategies designed to exploit market inefficiencies. These tools can help mitigate downside risk and potentially help the funds outperform general markets during flat or negative market conditions.

Consider these risks before investing:

International investing involves certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, economic instability, and political developments. Additional risks may be associated with emerging-market securities, including illiquidity and volatility. The use of leverage through derivatives may magnify this risk. Leverage and derivatives carry other risks that may result in losses, including the effects of unexpected market shifts and/or the potential illiquidity of certain derivatives. Funds that invest in bonds are subject to certain risks including interest-rate risk, credit risk, and inflation risk. As interest rates rise, the prices of bonds fall. Long-term bonds are more exposed to interest-rate risk than short-term bonds. Unlike bonds, bond funds have ongoing fees and expenses.

Recurring volatility shows
the need for absolute returns

As a result of the historical events below, stocks and bonds experienced setbacks. That is why it is important to diversify a portfolio with an absolute return fund.

Inflation The Consumer Price Index rose 13.5% in 1980, and long-term government bonds fell 3.95%. (Source: Ibbotson Long-Term U.S. Government Total Return Index.)

Market panics On Black Monday, October 19, 1987, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 23% in one day.

Global conflicts After the September 11 attacks in 2001, the S&P 500 dropped 7.1% when the stock market re-opened days later.

Financial crises After the Lehman Brothers collapse in September 2008, stocks, bonds, and global markets fell, and even investment-grade bonds lost value, declining 2.4% in October 2008. (Source: Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index.)

As stocks went up and down and Treasury bills were flat, Putnam Absolute Return 100 Fund and 300 Fund pursued their three-year return targets.


Data is historical. Performance is shown at net asset value. Had sales charge been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of common stock performance. The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of U.S. dollar denominated U.S. Treasury bills publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. Indexes assume reinvestment of all distributions and do not have a sales charge. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The securities in the Putnam funds will differ from those in the index, and the funds’ performance will differ in accordance with the funds’ objective. For the first nine weeks of 2009 (12/31/08-3/9/09), the S&P 500 returned -24.63%. U.S. government bond performance is represented by the Barclays Capital Government Bond Index. The source of the economic data is the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. Reuters is the source on downgrades of bonds of Spain, Portugal, and Greece.

Performance
snapshot

Annualized total return (%) comparison as of 4/30/10


Current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted past performance, which cannot guarantee future results. Share price, principal value, and return will fluctuate, and you may have a gain or a loss when you sell your shares. Performance of class A shares assumes reinvestment of distributions and does not account for taxes.

Interview with your
fund’s portfolio manager

Rob Bloemker

Rob, we saw renewed bouts of volatility
in bond markets during the semiannual
period. How did Putnam Absolute Return
100 Fund and Putnam Absolute Return
300 Fund perform?

While financial markets had a number of ups and downs over the past few months, the funds were much more stable and delivered positive results. Class A shares of the 100 Fund produced a return of 1.20% for the 6-month period, and class A shares of the 300 Fund returned 2.58% over the same time frame. To put this in perspective, we do not think in terms of a traditional stock or bond benchmark, and the funds’ return targets are established for a three-year period, rather than the six-month period covered by this update. However, as a reference point, Treasury bills returned a mere 0.08% over the past six months.

What were some of the investments that
helped the funds produce positive results?

We have been pursuing returns from different types of risk, so that each one can contribute something to returns without the portfolios depending on just one source of returns. The first of the strategies involves interest-rate risk. Recently, there has been a lot of worry about inflation, which can push interest rates up and hurt bond prices. In our view, inflation is less of a concern at the moment than deflation, but recognizing the jitteriness of the market, we have nevertheless favored short-maturity securities that are less vulnerable to rising rates. Most of these are commercial mortgage-backed securities that we have analyzed, and we consider their cash flows to be reliable. We have also selectively sold Treasury futures that help us to reduce interest-rate risk even further. For much of the period, each fund had a duration of near zero.


This comparison shows the funds’ performance in the context of broad market indexes for the six months ended 4/30/10. See pages 4 and 10–12 for additional fund performance information. Index descriptions can be found on page 15.

Duration is a measure of a security’s — and by extension, a portfolio’s — sensitivity to interest-rate changes. With a duration near zero, the funds have been less influenced by interest rates than most bond funds.

Aside from short-term securities, what
other strategies have helped performance?

Another strategy focused on mortgage prepayments. There is an inconsistency in the markets today, in which the markets are pricing securities as if mortgage prepayments were occurring at the same rate as they were several years ago, even though this rate has been cut in half because home prices have fallen. To profit from this mispricing, we have held interest-only [IO] collateralized mortgage obligation [CMOs] securities in the portfolio. These securities represent only the interest payments on mortgages, which are separate from the principal payments. As people continue to pay their existing mortgages, the IOs perform well, and they have contributed to the results of both funds.

The third major strategy is mortgage credit. These are non-government-agency residential mortgage securities with some credit risk. We favor these securities because there are still questions about the housing market that are keeping security prices attractive. We think housing prices are likely to fall moderately from current levels, and so we have selected securities that we think can still have a positive return if home prices fall moderately, or even dramatically. At Putnam, we have a number of mortgage experts who research these risks every day. Even when we look at scenarios that involve the housing market getting much worse than we expect, our analysis indicates that the mortgage credit exposure we have in the portfolio is still likely to deliver positive returns.

Are you concerned that any government
will default?

The risk of a government not being able to make a debt payment is increasing, though it probably will not be Greece, because of the financial assistance other European countries are providing. One way to look at the current situation is to compare it with 2007 and 2008, when the imbalance in the credit markets

seen recently.

Rob Bloemker

involved mortgages and corporate bonds. Most of these imbalances have been worked out over the past few years, but now the global government bond market features a lot of imbalances. There are a number of government entities that do not have good prospects of meeting their debt obligations. A default would have the effect of compelling other governments to restore fiscal balances.

Would a default derail the market recovery,
and cause a return to anything like the
environment we saw in 2008?

A default is likely to cause volatility, but the magnitude of a downturn is likely to be less than in 2008. The situation two years ago was different from today, in part because the market decline removed a lot of leverage from the financial system. Also, the financials sector was at the heart of the 2008 crisis, which made the whole situation worse. Today, the financials sector is stronger than it was, and it is not the source of the problem. We consider Putnam Absolute Return 100 Fund and 300 Fund to be well suited to weathering any storms in the market that could result from the debt and currency reforms facing Europe.

How did the funds invest outside of
mortgage-related securities?

We had a somewhat new and expanding strategy with high-quality, short-duration corporate bonds. This was inspired by the improving financial health of many U.S. corporations, which have, during the recession, undertaken many efforts to strengthen their balance sheets and creditworthiness. These securities performed well for the funds. And, of course, while we have been carefully investing in short-term cash instruments, each fund still has a large weighting in cash as another buffer against volatility.

Were there any securities or strate-
gies with disappointing results in the
semiannual period?

Each of the strategies that I outlined earlier generated positive results with low volatility, though the returns of individual securities varied. We had a relatively cautious approach because it was possible to pursue our return targets without taking on aggressive risks.

One of the biggest sources of volatility this
year has been Greece’s sovereign debt crisis.
Did this have any impact on the funds?

The funds had no exposure to Greece, and we have not taken much risk at all involving sovereign bonds during the period. We have been evaluating opportunities in this area, but we have decided to wait for what we consider better opportunities, when volatility eases from recent levels. We think that sovereign risk opportunities will unfold for many months to come because so many governments around the world must issue debt to pay for the programs they initiated to restore economic growth.

What is your outlook for the markets and
the funds?

The recent spate of volatility in the markets does not look likely to recede in the near term, and so we are continuing to proceed with caution and gradually deploy cash holdings where we find opportunities appropriate to the funds’ return targets and risk profiles. We still believe that fixed-income markets offer a number of attractive investment opportunities that can meet their performance potential regardless of the course that the economy takes. In other words, there is still a fair amount of residual fear on the part of investors, and this fear is preventing them from bidding up the prices of many fixed-income securities. As such, these securities are available to us at attractive prices that more than compensate the funds for the risk involved in owning them.

The areas that we think will become more attractive in coming months include the corporate and sovereign sectors. As the Europe debt crisis plays out, we might see more creative solutions to the problems that

currently face Greece and a number of other nations, including Portugal, Spain, and Ireland. As structural solutions are put in place, we might find opportunities for attractive returns in sovereign bonds. In the corporate sector, the funds are enjoying strong results from some earlier investments, and we are monitoring this area for additional opportunities.

Our view on the inflation/deflation debate was accurate during the funds’ semiannual period, and we are continuing to invest based on the short-term deflationary signs that we see. We have used strategies that benefit from the flattening of the yield curve, and we expect to use more of these in the near term. Although we recognize that structural forces are in place that could produce inflation in the future, the persistent weakness of housing prices and a relatively modest economic recovery should keep price pressures weak in the short term. We are holding off on shifting to a strategy that could benefit from the long-term structural outlook for inflation.

It’s important for investors to remember that these funds were designed to pursue positive returns even in volatile markets like we have seen recently. We are very aware of the responsibility this entails, and we recognize the funds should play an important role in helping to stabilize performance.

IN THE NEWS

In early May, European leaders crafted a substantial bailout package for Greece and other beleaguered eurozone nations. The nearly $1 trillion from the International Monetary Fund and European Union is aimed at easing the debt loads for several nations, most notably Greece. The shock waves from Europe’s debt crisis have rattled markets worldwide. Today, Greece’s debt equals about 115% of its gross domestic product. How did Greece become so indebted? The creation of the 16-country eurozone caused the rates for government borrowing across Europe to begin moving in tandem. In the days of the economic boom, investors were willing to lend to Greece, but this caused wage inflation. The cost of production in Greece rose much faster than Greek productivity. The country’s standing in world markets weakened as imports rose, exports declined, and the deficit ballooned.

* Expenses for each share class are calculated using the fund’s annualized expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of average net assets for the six months ended 4/30/10. The expense ratio may differ for each share class.

† Expenses are calculated by multiplying the expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the period; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the year.

Terms and definitions

Important terms

Total return shows how the value of each fund’s shares changed over time, assuming you held the shares through the entire period and reinvested all distributions in the fund.

Net asset value (NAV) is the price, or value, of one share of a mutual fund, without a sales charge. NAVs fluctuate with market conditions. NAV is calculated by dividing the net assets of each class of shares by the number of outstanding shares in the class.

Public offering price (POP) is the price of a mutual fund share plus the maximum sales charge levied at the time of purchase. POP performance figures shown here assume the 1.00% maximum sales charge for class A shares and 0.75% for class M shares.

Contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is generally a charge applied at the time of the redemption of class B or C shares and assumes redemption at the end of the period. Your fund’s class B CDSC declines from a 1.00% maximum during the first year to 0.50% during the second year. After the second year, the CDSC no longer applies. The CDSC for class C shares is 1.00% for one year after purchase.

Share classes

Class A shares are generally subject to an initial sales charge and no CDSC (except on certain redemptions of shares bought without an initial sales charge).

Class B shares are not subject to an initial sales charge. They may be subject to a CDSC.

Class C shares are not subject to an initial sales charge and are subject to a CDSC only if the shares are redeemed during the first year.

Class M shares have a lower initial sales charge and a higher 12b-1 fee than class A shares and no CDSC (except on certain redemptions of shares bought without an initial sales charge).

Class R shares are not subject to an initial sales charge or CDSC and are available only to certain defined contribution plans.

Class Y shares are not subject to an initial sales charge or CDSC, and carry no 12b-1 fee. They are generally only available to corporate and institutional clients and clients in other approved programs.

Comparative indexes

Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. investment-grade fixed-income securities.

Barclays Capital Government Bond Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. Treasury and government agency bonds.

BofA (Bank of America) Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of U.S. dollar denominated U.S. Treasury Bills publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. Qualifying securities must have a remaining term of at least one month to final maturity and a minimum amount outstanding of $1 billion.

S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of common stock performance.

Indexes assume reinvestment of all distributions and do not account for fees. Securities and performance of a fund and an index will differ. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Each fund will file a complete schedule of its portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. Shareholders may obtain the funds’ Forms N-Q on the SEC’s Web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the funds’ Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C.

As of April 30, 2010, Putnam employees had approximately $347,000,000 and the Trustees had approximately $49,000,000 invested in Putnam mutual funds.

Financial statements

A guide to financial statements

These sections of the report, as well as the accompanying Notes, constitute the fund’s financial statements.

The fund’s portfolio lists all the fund’s investments and their values as of the last day of the reporting period. Holdings are organized by asset type and industry sector, country, or state to show areas of concentration and diversification.

Statement of assets and liabilities shows how the fund’s net assets and share price are determined. All investment and non-investment assets are added together. Any unpaid expenses and other liabilities are subtracted from this total. The result is divided by the number of shares to determine the net asset value per share, which is calculated separately for each class of shares. (For funds with preferred shares, the amount subtracted from total assets includes the liquidation preference of preferred shares.)

Statement of operations shows the fund’s net investment gain or loss. This is done by first adding up all the fund’s earnings — from dividends and interest income — and subtracting its operating expenses to determine net investment income (or loss). Then, any net gain or loss the fund realized on the sales of its holdings — as well as any unrealized gains or losses over the period — is added to or subtracted from the net investment result to determine the fund’s net gain or loss for the fiscal period.

Statement of changes in net assets shows how the fund’s net assets were affected by the fund’s net investment gain or loss, by distributions to shareholders, and by changes in the number of the fund’s shares. It lists distributions and their sources (net investment income or realized capital gains) over the current reporting period and the most recent fiscal year-end. The distributions listed here may not match the sources listed in the Statement of operations because the distributions are determined on a tax basis and may be paid in a different period from the one in which they were earned. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. Actual results may vary. Any non-taxable return of capital cannot be determined until final tax calculations are completed after the end of the fund’s fiscal year.

Financial highlights provide an overview of the fund’s investment results, per-share distributions, expense ratios, net investment income ratios, and portfolio turnover in one summary table, reflecting the five most recent reporting periods. In a semiannual report, the highlights table also includes the current reporting period.

* Payments related to the referenced debt are made upon a credit default event.

** Upfront premium is based on the difference between the original spread on issue and the market spread on day of execution.

*** Ratings are presented for credit default contracts in which the fund has sold protection on the underlying referenced debt. Ratings for an underlying index represent the average of the ratings of all the securities included in that index. The Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or Fitch ratings are believed to be the most recent ratings available at April 30, 2010. Securities rated by Putnam are indicated by “/P.” Securities rated by Fitch are indicated by “/F.” ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the fund’s investments. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Notes to financial statements 4/30/10 (Unaudited)

Note 1: Significant accounting policies

Putnam Absolute Return 100 and 300 Funds (the funds) are each a diversified series of Putnam Funds Trust (the trust), a Massachusetts business trust, which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The funds seek to earn a positive total return that exceeds, by a targeted amount, the rate of inflation, as reflected by the return of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury Bill Index over a reasonable period of time regardless of market conditions or general market direction. The funds pursue their goals through portfolios that are structured to offer varying degrees of risk, expected volatility and expected returns. The funds will invest primarily in a broadly diversified portfolio reflecting uncorrelated fixed income strategies designed to exploit market inefficiencies across global markets and fixed income sectors. The funds may invest a significant portion of their assets in securitized debt instruments, including mortgage-backed and asset-backed investments. The yields and values of these investments are sensitive to changes in interest rates, the rate of principal payments on the underlying assets and the markets perception of the issuers. The market for these investments may be volatile and limited, which may make them difficult to sell or buy.

Each fund offers class A, class B, class C, class M, class R and class Y shares. Class A and class M shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 1.00% and 0.75%, respectively, and generally do not pay a contingent deferred sales charge. Class B shares, which convert to class A shares after approximately eight years, do not pay a front-end sales charge and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, if those shares are redeemed within two years of purchase. Class C shares have a one-year 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge and do not convert to class A shares. Class R shares, which are offered to qualified employee-benefit plans, are sold at net asset value. The expenses for class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares may differ based on the distribution fee of each class, which is identified in Note 2. Class Y shares, which are sold at net asset value, are generally subject to the same expenses as class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares, but do not bear a distribution fee. Class Y shares are generally only available to corporate and institutional clients and clients in other approved programs.

Prior to April 5, 2010, the maximum front-end sales charge for class A and class M shares was 3.25% and 2.00%, respectively. Prior to April 5, 2010, class B shares were subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, if those shares were redeemed within four years of purchase.

A 1.00% redemption fee may apply on any shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging into another fund) within 7 days of purchase. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in-capital.

Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses of each fund are borne pro-rata based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each fund, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the distribution fees applicable to such classes). Each class votes as a class only with respect to its own distribution plan or other matters on which a class vote is required by law or determined by the Trustees. If the fund were liquidated, shares of each class would receive their pro-rata share of the net assets of the fund. In addition, the Trustees declare separate dividends on each class of shares.

In the normal course of business, the funds enter into contracts that may include agreements to indemnify another party under given circumstances. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be, but have not yet been, made against the funds. However, the funds’ management team expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the period from November 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010 (the reporting period). Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events after the Statement of assets and liabilities date through the date that the financial statements were issued, June 11, 2010, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.

A) Security valuation Market quotations are not considered to be readily available for certain debt obligations; such investments are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees or dealers selected by Putnam Investment Management, LLC (Putnam Management), the funds’ manager, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Investments, LLC. Such services or dealers determine valuations for normal institutional-size trading units of such securities using methods based on market transactions for comparable securities

70



and various relationships, generally recognized by institutional traders, between securities (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings). Securities quoted in foreign currencies, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. To the extent a pricing service or dealer is unable to value a security or provides a valuation that Putnam Management does not believe accurately reflects the security’s fair value, the security will be valued at fair value by Putnam Management. Certain investments, including certain restricted and illiquid securities and derivatives, are also valued at fair value following procedures approved by the Trustees. Such valuations and procedures are reviewed periodically by the Trustees. Certain securities may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a single source. The fair value of securities is generally determined as the amount that the fund could reasonably expect to realize from an orderly disposition of such securities over a reasonable period of time. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the value of a security in a current sale and does not reflect an actual market price, which may be different by a material amount.

B) Security transactions and related investment income Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Gains or losses on securities sold are determined on the identified cost basis.

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premiums/discounts are amortized/accreted on a yield-to-maturity basis.

C) Stripped securities Each fund may invest in stripped securities which represent a participation in securities that may be structured in classes with rights to receive different portions of the interest and principal. Interest-only securities receive all of the interest and principal-only securities receive all of the principal. If the interest-only securities experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the fund may fail to recoup fully its initial investment in these securities. Conversely, principal-only securities increase in value if prepayments are greater than anticipated and decline if prepayments are slower than anticipated. The market value of these securities is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.

D) Foreign currency translation The accounting records of the funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market value of foreign securities, currency holdings, and other assets and liabilities is recorded in the books and records of the funds after translation to U.S. dollars based on the exchange rates on that day. The cost of each security is determined using historical exchange rates. Income and withholding taxes are translated at prevailing exchange rates when earned or incurred. The funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. Such gains and losses are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net realized exchange gains or losses on closed forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies arise from changes in the value of open forward currency contracts and assets and liabilities other than investments at the period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Investments in foreign securities involve certain risks, including those related to economic instability, unfavorable political developments, and currency fluctuations, not present with domestic investments.

E) Futures and options contracts Each fund may use futures and options contracts to hedge against changes in the values of securities the fund owns, owned or expects to purchase, or for other investment purposes. Each fund may also write options on swaps or securities it owns or in which it may invest to increase its current returns.

The potential risk to each fund is that the change in value of futures and options contracts may not correspond to the change in value of the hedged instruments. In addition, losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, if interest or exchange rates move unexpectedly or if the counterparty to the contract is unable to perform. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to each fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction to the cost of investments.

Futures contracts are valued at the quoted daily settlement prices established by the exchange on which they trade. The fund and the broker agree to exchange an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of

71



the futures contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin.” Exchange traded options are valued at the last sale price or, if no sales are reported, the last bid price for purchased options and the last ask price for written options. Options traded over-the-counter are valued using prices supplied by dealers. Futures and written option contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the funds’ portfolios. The funds had average contract amounts of approximately 300 and 700 (for 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively) on futures contracts for the reporting period. The funds had average contract amounts of approximately $31,500,000 and $100,000,000 (for 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively) on purchased options contracts for the reporting period. See Note 3 for the volume of written options contracts activity for the reporting period.

F) Forward currency contracts Each fund may buy and sell forward currency contracts, which are agreements between two parties to buy and sell currencies at a set price on a future date. These contracts are used to protect against a decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar of the currencies in which its portfolio securities are denominated or quoted (or an increase in the value of a currency in which securities a fund intends to buy are denominated, when a fund holds cash reserves and short term investments), or for other investment purposes. The U.S. dollar value of forward currency contracts is determined using current forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked to market daily and the change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The fund could be exposed to risk if the value of the currency changes unfavorably, if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the fund is unable to enter into a closing position. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Forward currency contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the funds’ portfolios. The funds had average contract amounts of approximately $200,000 and $3,000,000 (for 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively) on forward currency contracts for the reporting period.

G) Total return swap contracts Each fund may enter into total return swap contracts, which are arrangements to exchange a market linked return for a periodic payment, both based on a notional principal amount to help enhance each fund’s return and manage each fund’s exposure to credit risk. To the extent that the total return of the security, index or other financial measure underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Total return swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. Certain total return swap contracts may include extended effective dates. Payments related to these swap contracts are accrued based on the terms of the contract. The fund could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or in the price of the underlying security or index, the possibility that there is no liquid market for these agreements or that the counterparty may default on its obligation to perform. The fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, is the fair value of the contract. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the fund and the counterparty. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Total return swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the funds’ portfolios. The funds had average notional amounts of approximately $2,100,000 and $7,700,000 (for 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively) on total return swap contracts for the reporting period.

H) Interest rate swap contracts Each fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts, which are arrangements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount, to manage the fund’s exposure to interest rates. An interest rate swap can be purchased or sold with an upfront premium. An upfront payment received by the fund is recorded as a liability on the fund’s books. An upfront payment made by the fund is recorded as an asset on the fund’s books. Interest rate swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. Certain interest rate swap contracts may include extended effective dates. Payments related to these swap contracts are accrued based on the terms of the contract. The fund could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or if the counterparty defaults on its obligation to perform. The fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, is the fair value of the contract. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the fund and the counterparty. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Interest rate swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the funds’ portfolios. The funds had average notional amounts of approximately $324,400,000 and $1,236,100,000 (for 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively) on interest rate swap contracts for the reporting period.

72



I) Credit default contracts Each fund may enter into credit default contracts to provide a measure of protection against risk of loss following a default, or other credit event in respect of issuers within an underlying index or a single issuer, or to gain credit exposure to an underlying index or issuer. In a credit default contract, the protection buyer typically makes an up front payment and a periodic stream of payments to a counterparty, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a credit event on the reference obligation or all other equally ranked obligations of the reference entity. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. An upfront payment received by the fund, as the protection seller, is recorded as a liability on the fund’s books. An upfront payment made by the fund, as the protection buyer, is recorded as an asset on the fund’s books. Periodic payments received or paid by the fund are recorded as realized gains or losses. The credit default contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the difference between the par value and market value of the reference obligation, net of any proportional amount of the upfront payment, is recorded as a realized gain or loss.

In addition to bearing the risk that the credit event will occur, each fund could be exposed to market risk due to unfavorable changes in interest rates or in the price of the underlying security or index or the possibility that the fund may be unable to close out its position at the same time or at the same price as if it had purchased the underlying reference obligations. In certain circumstances, the fund may enter into offsetting credit default contracts which would mitigate its risk of loss. Risks of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. The fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the fund and the counterparty. Where the fund is a seller of protection, the maximum potential amount of future payments the fund may be required to make is equal to the notional amount of the relevant credit default contract. Credit default contracts outstanding, including their respective notional amounts at period end, if any, are listed after the funds’ portfolios. For each fund, outstanding notional on credit default swap contracts at the close of the reporting period are indicative of the volume of activity during the period.

J) Master agreements Each fund is a party to ISDA (International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements (Master Agreements) with certain counterparties that govern over-the-counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreements, collateral posted to the funds is held in a segregated account by the fund’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or repledged, are presented in the fund’s portfolio. Collateral pledged by the fund is segregated by the fund’s custodian and identified in the fund’s portfolio. Collateral can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. Government or related agencies or other securities as agreed to by the fund and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the fund’s net position with each counterparty. Termination events applicable to the fund may occur upon a decline in the fund’s net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time. Termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in the counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all derivative and foreign exchange contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of the fund’s counterparties to elect early termination could impact the fund’s future derivative activity.

At the close of the reporting period, the funds had net liability positions of $5,403,715 and $19,370,761 (for 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively) on derivative contracts subject to the Master Agreements. Collateral posted by the funds totaled $3,890,738 and $15,638,979 (for 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively).

K) TBA purchase commitments Each fund may enter into TBA (to be announced) commitments to purchase securities for a fixed unit price at a future date beyond customary settlement time. Although the unit price has been established, the principal value has not been finalized. However, it is anticipated that the amount of the commitments will not significantly differ from the principal amount. The fund holds, and maintains until settlement date, cash or high-grade debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price, or the fund may enter into offsetting contracts for the forward sale of other securities it owns. Income on the securities will not be earned until settlement date. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date, which risk is in addition to the risk

73



of decline in the value of the fund’s other assets. Unsettled TBA purchase commitments are valued at fair value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Security valuation” above. The contract is marked to market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss.

Although each fund will generally enter into TBA purchase commitments with the intention of acquiring securities for its portfolio or for delivery pursuant to options contracts it has entered into, the fund may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if Putnam Management deems it appropriate to do so.

L) TBA sale commitments Each fund may enter into TBA sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as “cover” for the transaction.

Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the fair value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under “Security valuation” above. The contract is marked to market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting TBA purchase commitment, the fund realizes a gain or loss. If the fund delivers securities under the commitment, the fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into. TBA sale commitments outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the funds’ portfolios.

M) Dollar rolls To enhance returns, each fund may enter into dollar rolls (principally using TBAs) in which the fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to purchase similar securities on a specified future date. During the period between the sale and subsequent purchase, the fund will not be entitled to receive income and principal payments on the securities sold. The fund will, however, retain the difference between the initial sales price and the forward price for the future purchase. The fund will also be able to earn interest on the cash proceeds that are received from the initial sale, on settlement date. The fund may be exposed to market or credit risk if the price of the security changes unfavorably or the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the agreement.

N) Federal taxes It is the policy of each fund to distribute all of its taxable income within the prescribed time and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), applicable to regulated investment companies. It is also the intention of each fund to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Code. Each fund is subject to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The funds did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. No provision has been made for federal taxes on income, capital gains or unrealized appreciation on securities held nor for excise tax on income and capital gains. Each fund’s federal tax return for the prior fiscal year remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

At October 31, 2009, the 300 Fund had a capital loss carryover of $595,925 available to the extent allowed by the Code to offset future net capital gain, if any. This capital loss carryover will expire on October 31, 2017.

The aggregate identified cost on a tax basis is as follows:

  Cost  Appreciation  Depreciation  Net Appreciation 

100 Fund  $273,326,333  $3,946,634  $701,993  $3,244,641 

300 Fund  729,708,150  16,146,786  3,219,233  12,927,553 


O) Distributions to shareholders Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are recorded by each fund on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. Actual results may vary. Any non-taxable return of capital cannot be determined until final tax calculations are completed after the end of the funds’ fiscal year. Reclassifications are made to the funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations.

74



P) Expenses of the trust Expenses directly charged or attributable to any fund will be paid from the assets of that fund. Generally, expenses of the trust will be allocated among and charged to the assets of each fund on a basis that the Trustees deem fair and equitable, which may be based on the relative assets of each fund or the nature of the services performed and relative applicability to each fund.

Q) Offering costs The offering costs of $125,939 and $125,939 (for 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively) have been fully amortized on a straight-line basis over a twelve-month period as of December 23, 2009. As of the close of the reporting period, the funds have reimbursed Putnam Management for the payment of these expenses.

Note 2: Management fee, administrative services and other transactions

Effective February 1, 2010, each fund pays Putnam Management a management fee (base fee) (based on each fund’s average net assets and computed and paid monthly) at annual rates that may vary based on the average of the aggregate net assets of most open-end funds, as defined in the funds’ management contract, sponsored by Putnam Management. Such annual rates may vary as follows:

100 Fund: 0.63% of the first $5 billion, 0.58% of the next $5 billion, 0.53% of the next $10 billion, 0.48% of the next $10 billion, 0.43% of the next $50 billion, 0.41% of the next $50 billion, 0.40% of the next $100 billion, and 0.395% of any excess thereafter.

300 Fund: 0.73% of the first $5 billion, 0.68% of the next $5 billion, 0.63% of the next $10 billion, 0.58% of the next $10 billion, 0.53% of the next $50 billion, 0.51% of the next $50 billion, 0.50% of the next $100 billion, and 0.495% of any excess thereafter.

Prior to February 1, 2010, each fund paid Putnam Management for management and investment advisory services monthly based on the average net assets of each fund. Such fee was based on the following annual rates:

100 Fund: 0.55% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.45% of the next $500 million, 0.40% of the next $500 million, 0.35% of the next $5 billion, 0.325% of the next $5 billion, 0.305% of the next $5 billion, 0.29% of the next $5 billion and 0.28% of any excess thereafter.

300 Fund: 0.65% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.55% of the next $500 million, 0.50% of the next $500 million, 0.45% of the next $5 billion, 0.425% of the next $5 billion, 0.405% of the next $5 billion, 0.39% of the next $5 billion and 0.38% of any excess thereafter.

Commencing with each fund’s thirteenth whole calendar month of operation (January 2010), the applicable base fee will be increased or decreased for each month by an amount based on the performance of the fund. The amount of the increase or decrease will be calculated monthly based on a performance adjustment rate that is equal to 0.04 multiplied by the difference between the fund’s annualized performance (measured by the fund’s class A shares) and the annualized performance of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury Bill Index plus 1.00% and 3.00% (for 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively), over the performance period. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is +/- 0.04% and +/- 0.12% (for 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively). The performance period will be the thirty-six month period then ended or, if the fund has not then operated for thirty-six whole calendar months, the period from the date the fund commenced operations to the end of the month for which the fee adjustment is being computed. Each month, the performance adjustment rate will be multiplied by the fund’s average net assets over the performance period and the result will be divided by twelve. The resulting dollar amount will be added to, or subtracted from, the base fee for that month. The monthly base fee is determined based on the fund’s average net assets for the month, while the performance adjustment will be determined based on the fund’s average net assets over the performance period of up to thirty-six months. This means it is possible that, if the fund underperforms significantly over the performance period, and the fund’s assets have declined significantly over that period, the negative performance adjustment may exceed the base fee. In this event, Putnam Management would make a payment to the fund.

For the reporting period ended, the base fee represented an effective rate of 0.25% and 0.30% (for the 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively) of each fund’s average net assets before an increase of $11,197 and $70,766 (for the 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively) (0.01% and 0.02%, of each fund’s average net assets) based on performance.

Effective August 1, 2009 through February 28, 2011 for 100 Fund and July 31, 2010 for 300 Fund, Putnam Management has contractually agreed to reimburse each fund’s expenses to the extent necessary to limit the cumulative expenses of each fund, exclusive of brokerage, interest, taxes, investment-related expenses, extraordinary expenses and payments under each fund’s investor servicing contract, investment management contract and distribution plans, on a fiscal year-to-date basis (or from August 1, 2009 through each fund’s next fiscal year end, as applicable), to an annual rate of 0.20% of each fund’s average net assets over such fiscal year-to-date period (or

75



since August 1, 2009, as applicable). During the reporting period, the funds’ expenses were not reduced as a result of this limit.

Putnam Investments Limited (PIL), an affiliate of Putnam Management, is authorized by the Trustees to manage a separate portion of the assets of the funds as determined by Putnam Management from time to time. Putnam Management pays a quarterly sub-management fee to PIL for its services at an annual rate of 0.35% of the average assets of the portion of each fund managed by PIL.

The Putnam Advisory Company, LLC (PAC), an affiliate of Putnam Management, is authorized by the Trustees to manage a separate portion of the assets of the funds, as designated from time to time by Putnam Management or PIL. Putnam Management or PIL, as applicable, pays a quarterly sub-advisory fee to PAC for its services at the annual rate of 0.35% of the average net assets of the portion of each fund’s assets for which PAC is engaged as sub-adviser.

The funds reimburse Putnam Management an allocated amount for the compensation and related expenses of certain officers of the funds and their staff who provide administrative services to the funds. The aggregate amount of all such reimbursements is determined annually by the Trustees.

Custodial functions for the funds’ assets are provided by State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street). Custody fees are based on each fund’s asset level, the number of its security holdings and transaction volumes.

Putnam Investor Services, Inc., an affiliate of Putnam Management, provided investor servicing agent functions to each fund. Putnam Investor Services, Inc. received fees for investor servicing, subject to certain limitations, based on each fund’s retail asset level, the number of shareholder accounts in each fund and the level of defined contribution plan assets in each fund. The amounts incurred for investor servicing agent functions during the reporting period are included in Investor servicing fees in the Statement of operations.

Each fund has entered into expense offset arrangements with Putnam Investor Services, Inc. and State Street whereby Putnam Investor Services, Inc.’s and State Street’s fees are reduced by credits allowed on cash balances. For the reporting period, the funds’ expenses were reduced by $647 and $1,530 (for 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively) under the expense offset arrangements.

Each independent Trustee of the funds receives an annual Trustee fee, of which $172 and $405 (for 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively), as a quarterly retainer, has been allocated to the funds, and an additional fee for each Trustees meeting attended. Trustees receive additional fees for attendance at certain committee meetings and industry seminars and for certain compliance-related matters. Trustees also are reimbursed for expenses they incur relating to their services as Trustees.

Each fund has adopted a Trustee Fee Deferral Plan (the Deferral Plan) which allows the Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of Trustees fees payable on or after July 1, 1995. The deferred fees remain invested in certain Putnam funds until distribution in accordance with the Deferral Plan.

Each fund has adopted an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the Pension Plan) covering all Trustees of the funds who have served as a Trustee for at least five years and were first elected prior to 2004. Benefits under the Pension Plan are equal to 50% of the Trustee’s average annual attendance and retainer fees for the three years ended December 31, 2005. The retirement benefit is payable during a Trustee’s lifetime, beginning the year following retirement, for the number of years of service through December 31, 2006. Pension expense for the funds is included in Trustee compensation and expenses in the Statement of operations. Accrued pension liability is included in Payable for Trustee compensation and expenses in the Statement of assets and liabilities. The Trustees have terminated the Pension Plan with respect to any Trustee first elected after 2003.

Each fund has adopted distribution plans (the Plans) with respect to its class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The purpose of the Plans is to compensate Putnam Retail Management Limited Partnership, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Investments, LLC and Putnam Retail Management GP, Inc., for services provided and expenses incurred in distributing shares of the funds. The Plans provide for payments by each fund to Putnam Retail Management Limited Partnership at an annual rate of up to 0.35%, 1.00%, 1.00%, 1.00% and 1.00% of the average net assets attributable to class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares, respectively. The Trustees have approved payment by each fund at an annual rate of 0.25%, 0.45%, 1.00%, 0.30% and 0.50% of the average net assets attributable to class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares,

76



respectively. Prior to April 5, 2010, the annual rates were 0.85% and 0.40% of the average net assets attributable to class B and class M shares, respectively.

The funds invested in Putnam Money Market Liquidity Fund, an open-end management investment company managed by Putnam Management. Investments in Putnam Money Market Liquidity Fund are valued at its closing net asset value each business day. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as interest income in the Statement of operations and totaled $37,058 and $73,288 (for 100 Fund and 300 Fund, respectively) for the reporting period. During the reporting period, cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investments in Putnam Money Market Liquidity Fund aggregated as follows:

  Cost of purchases  Proceeds of sales

Note 8: Regulatory matters and litigation

In late 2003 and 2004, Putnam Management settled charges brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and the Massachusetts Securities Division in connection with excessive short-term trading in Putnam funds. Distribution of payments from Putnam Management to certain open-end Putnam funds and their shareholders is expected to be completed in the next several months. These allegations and related matters have served as the general basis for certain lawsuits, including purported class action lawsuits against Putnam Management and, in a limited number of cases, some Putnam funds. Putnam Management believes that these lawsuits will have no material adverse effect on the funds or on Putnam Management’s ability to provide investment management services. In addition, Putnam Management has agreed to bear any costs incurred by the Putnam funds as a result of these matters.

Note 9: Market and credit risk

In the normal course of business, the funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the contracting party to the transaction to perform (credit risk). The funds may be exposed to additional credit risk that an institution or other entity with which the funds have unsettled or open transactions will default.

Services for shareholders

Investor services

Systematic investment plan Tell us how much you wish to invest regularly — weekly, semimonthly, or monthly — and the amount you choose will be transferred automatically from your checking or savings account. There’s no additional fee for this service, and you can suspend it at any time. This plan may be a great way to save for college expenses or to plan for your retirement.

Please note that regular investing does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Before arranging a systematic investment plan, consider your financial ability to continue making purchases in periods when prices are low.

Systematic exchange You can make regular transfers from one Putnam fund to another Putnam fund. There are no additional fees for this service, and you can cancel or change your options at any time.

Dividends PLUS You can choose to have the dividend distributions from one of your Putnam funds automatically reinvested in another Putnam fund at no additional charge.

Free exchange privilege You can exchange money between Putnam funds free of charge, as long as they are the same class of shares. A signature guarantee is required if you are exchanging more than $500,000.

Reinstatement privilege If you’ve sold Putnam shares or received a check for a dividend or capital gain, you may reinvest the proceeds with Putnam within 90 days of the transaction and they will be reinvested at the fund’s current net asset value — with no sales charge. However, reinstatement of class B shares may have special tax consequences. Ask your financial or tax representative for details.

Check-writing service You have ready access to many Putnam accounts. It’s as simple as writing a check, and there are no special fees or service charges. For more information about the check-writing service, call Putnam or visit our Web site.

Dollar cost averaging When you’re investing for long-term goals, it’s time, not timing, that counts. Investing on a systematic basis is a better strategy than trying to figure out when the markets will go up or down. This means investing the same amount of money regularly over a long period. This method of investing is called dollar cost averaging. When a fund’s share price declines, your investment dollars buy more shares at lower prices. When it increases, they buy fewer shares. Over time, you will pay a lower average price per share.

Message from the Trustees

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

Volatility returned to global equity markets this spring. This change was to be expected after the remarkable advances of the past year, but the headlines from Europe added fuel.

If 2009 can be characterized as a rebound from the liquidity crisis, the investment environment for 2010 is shaping up to be somewhat more difficult, one that requires analysis, insight, innovation, and expertise.

These attributes form the very core of Putnam’s analytic, active-management approach, which seeks to weather short-term periods of market dislocation, while preparing for the expected return of a more positive investing environment. With volatility rising in fixed-income markets, bond investors should benefit from active management as well.

We would like to thank all shareholders who took the time to vote by proxy on a number of issues, including shareholder-friendly management fee changes, which went into effect earlier this year. We would also like to welcome new shareholders to the fund, and thank all of our investors for your continued confidence in Putnam.




About the fund

A world of sectors in one portfolio

In recent decades, innovation and business growth have propelled stocks in different industry sectors to market-leading performance. To take advantage of investment opportunities across these sectors, Putnam offers a suite of actively managed global sector funds. For investors who do not want to choose one sector or decide how to allocate assets across industries, there is Putnam Global Sector Fund.

The fund is composed of eight Putnam global sector funds, each of which is managed by focused, experienced global stock analysts. These managers use risk controls and a bottom-up stock selection process that is grounded in fundamental research. The fund offers a simple, convenient way to invest in all sectors in the MSCI World Index.

Each underlying sector fund invests at least 80% of its assets in stocks of a particular industry group, in markets around the world. The funds can invest in businesses of all sizes, but focus primarily on midsize and large companies. The managers are not limited to value-style or growth-style investing, and can target businesses at different stages of growth, from newer, rapidly growing companies to established global corporations.

All the managers of Putnam’s sector funds combine rigorous research with a disciplined investment process. They focus on a number of factors when making investment decisions, including company valuation, financial strength, and competitive position within each sector. And because these are actively managed funds, the stocks in the portfolios are constantly monitored and adjusted as business fundamentals, market conditions, or investment opportunities change.

Consider these risks before investing: International investing involves certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, economic instability, and political developments. Additional risks may be associated with emerging-market securities, including illiquidity and volatility. Growth stocks may be more susceptible to earnings disappointments, and value stocks may fail to rebound. Underlying funds that engage in short sales of securities may incur losses if the securities appreciate in value and may experience higher volatility due to leverage resulting from investing the proceeds of securities sold short. The non-diversified status of the underlying funds means that they may invest in fewer issues, and can increase the fund’s vulnerability to common economic forces and may result in greater losses and volatility.

Talented analysts
pursue opportunities
around the globe

Since U.S companies represent only 42% of the total worldwide market capitalization, targeting stocks beyond U.S. borders is an important investment strategy. However, finding the right stocks in the broad universe of domestic and international markets requires rigorous research and in-depth knowledge of global markets.

Putnam Global Sector Fund represents the best ideas and stock recommendations from approximately 40 analysts covering over 1,000 companies. The fund’s manager is also head of Putnam’s Large Cap Equity Research organization, overseeing the research process and helping to build fund portfolios.

“We offer a team of analysts with
impressive experience and deep
global sector knowledge. Just
as important, in my view, is their
energy, passion, and drive to
outperform.”

— Andrew Matteis, Portfolio Manager

The fund’s global approach can give it a competitive edge in targeting opportunities in diverse markets around the world. Putnam analysts, who are located in Boston, London, and Singapore, talk to private companies and consultants, attend trade shows, and work to find information that the markets haven’t already factored into stock prices.

The fund invests in eight Putnam global sector funds.

Interview with your
fund’s portfolio manager
Andrew Matteis

Andy, Putnam Global Sector Fund began
operations on March 31, 2010. Tell us about
the fund.

Putnam Global Sector Fund is a “fund-of-funds,” which means it invests in a portfolio of other Putnam mutual funds. In late 2008, Putnam introduced a new suite of global sector funds, each of which invests in stocks of a particular industry group, in markets around the world. These funds are managed by analysts who are experts in the sectors they cover. We decided to give investors the opportunity to invest in all of these sectors in one portfolio. We are pleased to offer this fund because it taps into the expertise of our entire global research organization.

How many sectors does the fund include?

The fund invests in eight funds, which cover the nine sectors in the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI World Index. The sectors are consumer, energy, financials, health care, industrials, natural resources, technology, telecommunications, and utilities. The fund does not invest in Putnam Global Energy Fund because the energy sector is covered within Putnam Global Natural Resources Fund.

How do you determine the weightings of
the individual funds within Putnam Global
Sector Fund’s portfolio?

We allocate the fund’s assets in roughly the same proportions as the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI World Index. For example, if the financials sector represents 21% of the MSCI World Index, Putnam Global Financials Fund will make up approximately the same percentage of the fund’s portfolio. It is also important to note that we rebalance the fund each quarter to keep it in alignment with the benchmark.

Can you tell us a bit about your investment
approach, and that of the other sector
fund managers?

Each of the underlying sector funds invests at least 80% of its assets in stocks of a specific

Global composition as of 4/30/10


The top 10 country/territory allocations represent 87.2% of the underlying funds’ net assets. The balance is invested in 21 other countries. Weightings will vary over time.

We provide the incentives for our
analysts to out-gather and out-
analyze their competitors. That’s what
they’re paid to do, and that’s what
they love to do. They have a passion
for research and stock picking.

industry group. The funds can invest in businesses of all sizes, but we focus primarily on midsize and large companies. We are not limited to value-style or growth-style investing, and we can invest in businesses at different stages of their growth cycles, from newer, rapidly growing companies to established global corporations.

A critical component of your approach is
fundamental research. Tell us more about that.

Our fund managers are also research analysts, and this is important because we build our portfolios on a stock-by-stock basis. We take a fundamental, bottom-up approach, which means we focus on the long-term potential of each individual company rather than on broader developments in the markets or economy. General themes at work in the market have some influence on our portfolio construction process, but we want our stock selection to be the main driver of performance. Unlike some sector funds in the industry, these funds are actively managed. All fund holdings are hand picked by analysts dedicated to that sector. We constantly monitor and adjust our holdings as business fundamentals or investment opportunities change, and we spend the time and energy to dig deep into each sector. These are big universes of stocks, and we need to identify the subset of stocks that we believe will outperform. By applying rigor, passion, incentives, and experience, we believe we can do a better job than a passively managed fund.

In addition to your role as portfolio
manager, you are also Head of Putnam’s
Large Cap Equity Research organization.
Tell us about your team.

We have a very experienced research team, with people who are passionate about investing. Putnam Global Sector Fund benefits from the best ideas and stock recommendations of approximately 40 analysts covering over 1,000 companies. It represents the work of analysts who are hunting for

Fund allocations as of 4/30/10


Allocations are represented as a percentage of the fund’s net assets. Holdings and allocations may vary over time.

stocks around the world that they think will help the funds beat their benchmarks.

The job of an equity research analyst is to make stock recommendations to mutual fund managers. One of the most exciting aspects of our sector funds is they allow our analysts to put their talent and energy to work in their own funds. This gives them a sense of ownership, and we have a compensation structure that rewards those who deliver top-quartile results. We provide the incentives for our analysts to out-gather and out-analyze their competitors. That’s what they’re paid to do, and that’s what they love to do. They have a passion for research and stock picking. And while “passion” is difficult to quantify, I believe it’s an important differentiator for this fund.

Another important feature is the fund’s global
approach. Not all sector funds offer this.

That is correct. Unlike many of its competitors, this fund has the flexibility to invest outside U.S. borders, which is important because U.S. companies represent only 42% of the total worldwide market capitalization. To find the best stocks in a particular sector, you must consider the entire global universe, since many of the strongest performers are in international markets. We have analysts across the globe — they’re here in Boston and in London and Singapore. They are on the ground, doing the research, meeting with companies, and studying the industries. What’s also important, however, is that our process ensures that the analysts come together, talk to each other, and share investment ideas. We encourage all our investment professionals to share information, to challenge their colleagues, and to push one another to perform.

Thank you, Andy. We look forward to
meeting again in six months to discuss the
fund’s performance for the annual report.

The views expressed in this report are exclusively those of Putnam Management. They are not meant as investment advice.

Please note that the holdings discussed in this report may not have been held by the fund for the entire period. Portfolio composition is subject to review in accordance with the fund’s investment strategy and may vary in the future. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.


Portfolio Manager Andrew Matteis is Head of Large Cap Equity Research at Putnam. He holds an M.P.A. and an M.B.A. from New York University and a B.A. from Lehman College. Andy joined Putnam in 1993 and has been in the investment industry since 1985.

IN THE NEWS

The first-quarter earnings season was much better than expected. With virtually all of the S&P 500 companies reporting, 68% have beaten analysts’ expectations, according to Standard & Poor’s. In a typical quarter, 61% of companies beat estimates. Both top-line (sales) and bottom-line earnings (profits) are coming in above expectations. Companies that undertook aggressive cost-cutting measures during the economic downturn have added to their bottom lines. Now many of those firms are experiencing rising sales, which is essential to sustained, long-term growth.

Your fund’s expenses

As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees, distribution fees (12b-1 fees), and other expenses. In the most recent period, your fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. Using the following information, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds. You may also pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial representative.

Compare expenses using the SEC’s method

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the following table shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total costs) of investing in the fund with those of other funds. All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

  Class A  Class B  Class C  Class M  Class R  Class Y 

Expenses paid per $1,000 *†  $0.21  $0.85  $0.85  $0.64  $0.43  $0.00

† Expenses are calculated by multiplying the expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the period; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the year.

Terms and definitions

Important terms

Total return shows how the value of the fund’s shares changed over time, assuming you held the shares through the entire period and reinvested all distributions in the fund.

Net asset value (NAV) is the price, or value, of one share of a mutual fund, without a sales charge. NAVs fluctuate with market conditions. NAV is calculated by dividing the net assets of each class of shares by the number of outstanding shares in the class.

Public offering price (POP) is the price of a mutual fund share plus the maximum sales charge levied at the time of purchase. POP performance figures shown here assume the 5.75% maximum sales charge for class A shares and 3.50% for class M shares.

Contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is generally a charge applied at the time of the redemption of class B or C shares and assumes redemption at the end of the period. Your fund’s class B CDSC declines from a 5% maximum during the first year to 1% during the sixth year. After the sixth year, the CDSC no longer applies. The CDSC for class C shares is 1% for one year after purchase.

Share classes

Class A shares are generally subject to an initial sales charge and no CDSC (except on certain redemptions of shares bought without an initial sales charge).

Class B shares are not subject to an initial sales charge. They may be subject to a CDSC.

Class C shares are not subject to an initial sales charge and are subject to a CDSC only if the shares are redeemed during the first year.

Class M shares have a lower initial sales charge and a higher 12b-1 fee than class A shares and no CDSC (except on certain redemptions of shares bought without an initial sales charge).

Class R shares are not subject to an initial sales charge or CDSC and are available only to certain defined contribution plans.

Class Y shares are not subject to an initial sales charge or CDSC, and carry no 12b-1 fee. They are generally only available to corporate and institutional clients and clients in other approved programs.

Comparative indexes

Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. investment-grade fixed-income securities.

BofA (Bank of America) Merrill Lynch U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index that seeks to measure the performance of U.S. Treasury bills available in the marketplace.

Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index is an unmanaged index of equity securities from developed countries.

S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of common stock performance.

Indexes assume reinvestment of all distributions and do not account for fees. Securities and performance of a fund and an index will differ. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Lipper is a third-party industry-ranking entity that ranks mutual funds. Its rankings do not reflect sales charges. Lipper rankings are based on total return at net asset value relative to other funds that have similar current investment styles or objectives as determined by Lipper. Lipper may change a fund’s category assignment at its discretion. Lipper category averages reflect performance trends for funds within a category.

Trustee approval of management contract

General conclusions

In December 2009, the Putnam funds’ Board of Trustees, which oversees the management of each Putnam fund, approved, for an initial term ending June 30, 2010, your fund’s management contract with Putnam Investment Management (“Putnam Management”); the sub-management contract, with respect to your fund, between Putnam Management and its affiliate, Putnam Investments Limited (“PIL”); and the sub-advisory contract among Putnam Management, PIL, and another affiliate, Putnam Advisory Company (“PAC”).

In this regard, the Board of Trustees, with the assistance of its Contract Committee consisting solely of Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Putnam funds (the “Independent Trustees”), requested and evaluated all information it deemed reasonably necessary under the circumstances. The Contract Committee reviewed and discussed key aspects of this information with all of the Independent Trustees. The Contract Committee recommended, and the Independent Trustees approved, the initial execution of your fund’s management, sub-management and sub-advisory contracts. (Because PIL and PAC are affiliates of Putnam Management and Putnam Management remains fully responsible for all services provided by PIL and PAC, the Trustees have not evaluated PIL or PAC as separate entities, and all subsequent references to Putnam Management below should be deemed to include reference to PIL and PAC as necessary or appropriate in the context.)

The Independent Trustees’ approval was based on the following conclusions:

That the proposed fee schedule for your fund would represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services to be provided to the fund, the fees paid by competitive funds and comparable Putnam funds, and the costs expected to be incurred by Putnam Management in providing such services, and

That the fee schedule would represent an appropriate sharing between fund shareholders and Putnam Management of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the fund at anticipated future asset levels.

These conclusions were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations and how the Trustees considered these factors are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently, giving different weights to various factors. It is also important to recognize that the proposed fee arrangements for your fund were considered in light of fee arrangements for other Putnam funds, which are the result of many years of review and discussion between the Independent Trustees and Putnam Management, that certain aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than others, and that the Trustees’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of these same arrangements in prior years.

Management fee schedules and
categories; total expenses

The Trustees considered your fund’s proposed management fee schedule and considered that, although the fund would pay no management fee to Putnam Management, Putnam Management would receive management fees from the underlying Putnam funds in which your fund invests. The Trustees noted that the

10



proposed fee schedule was consistent with the current fee schedules of other Putnam funds that pursued their objectives by investing substantially all of their assets in other Putnam funds, which had been carefully developed over the years and re-examined on many occasions and adjusted where appropriate. The Trustees focused on two areas of particular interest, as discussed further below:

Competitiveness. The Trustees reviewed comparative fee and expense information for funds in your fund’s Lipper category. The Trustees noted that expense ratios for a number of Putnam funds, which show the percentage of fund assets used to pay for management and administrative services, distribution (12b-1) fees and other expenses, had been increasing recently as a result of declining net assets and the natural operation of fee breakpoints. The Trustees expressed their intention to monitor the fund’s percentile rankings in management fees and in total expenses to ensure that fees and expenses of the fund continue to meet evolving competitive standards.

The Trustees considered Putnam Management’s contractual obligation through March 31, 2011 to reimburse the fund for certain other expenses (not including brokerage, interest, taxes, investment-related expenses, payments under distribution plans, and extraordinary expenses). The Trustees also considered Putnam Management’s contractual obligation to limit certain expenses of the underlying funds.

Economies of scale. The Trustees considered that, effective January 1, 2010, most Putnam funds (including the underlying funds, but not your fund, which does not pay any management fees) will have the benefit of breakpoints in their management fees that will provide shareholders of all funds with significant economies of scale, so that the effective management fee rate of a fund (as a percentage of fund assets) will decline as the aggregate net assets of all funds in the Fund Family grow in size and cross specified asset thresholds. (“Fund Family” for purposes of this discussion refers to all open-end mutual funds sponsored by Putnam Management, except for the Putnam RetirementReady® Funds, Putnam Money Market Liquidity Fund and your fund.) Conversely, if the aggregate net assets of the funds in the Fund Family decline — as has been the case in recent years — these breakpoints will result in increasing fee levels. The Trustees concluded that the fee schedule proposed for your fund represented an appropriate sharing of economies of scale at projected asset levels.

Investment performance

The quality of the investment process provided by Putnam Management represented a major factor in the Trustees’ decision to approve your fund’s initial management contract with Putnam Management. The Trustees are assisted in their review of the Putnam funds’ investment process and performance by the work of the Investment Oversight Coordinating Committee of the Trustees and the Investment Oversight Committees of the Trustees, which generally meet on a regular monthly basis with the funds’ portfolio teams throughout the year. The Trustees concluded that Putnam Management generally provides a high-quality investment process —as measured by the experience and skills of the individuals assigned to the management of fund portfolios, the resources made available to such personnel, and in general the ability of Putnam Management to attract and retain high-quality personnel — but also recognized that this does not guarantee favorable investment results for every fund in every time period. Ordinarily, in its review of management contracts, the Trustees consider the investment performance of each fund over multiple time periods and in comparison with various benchmarks and the performance of competitive funds. The Trustees were not able to consider this for your fund because your fund was not yet operational and had no performance record.

11



Brokerage and soft-dollar allocations;
other benefits

The Trustees considered various potential benefits that Putnam Management may receive in connection with the services it provides under the management contract with your fund. These include benefits related to brokerage and soft-dollar allocations, whereby a portion of the commissions paid by a fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research services that may be useful to Putnam Management in managing the assets of the fund and of other clients. The Trustees considered a change made, at Putnam Management’s request, to the Putnam funds’ brokerage allocation policy commencing in 2009, which increased the permitted soft dollar allocation to third-party services over what had been authorized in previous years. The Trustees noted that a portion of available soft dollars continue to be allocated to the payment of fund expenses, although the amount allocated for this purpose has declined in recent years. The Trustees indicated their continued intent to monitor regulatory developments in this area with the assistance of their Brokerage Committee and also indicated their continued intent to monitor the potential benefits associated with the allocation of fund brokerage and trends in industry practice to ensure that the principle of seeking best price and execution remains paramount in the portfolio trading process.

In the case of your fund, the Trustees’ initial review of the fund’s management contract also included the review of the fund’s distributor’s contract and distribution plans with Putnam Retail Management Limited Partnership, which contract and plans also provide benefits to an affiliate of Putnam Management, and the review of the investor servicing agreement with Putnam Investor Services, Inc. (“PSERV”), which agreement provides benefits to an affiliate of Putnam Management.

Comparison of retail and institutional
fee schedules

The information examined by the Trustees as part of their annual contract review for the Putnam funds has included for many years information regarding fees charged by Putnam Management and its affiliates to institutional clients such as defined benefit pension plans, college endowments, etc. This information included comparisons of such fees with fees charged to the funds, as well as a detailed assessment of the differences in the services provided to these two types of clients. The Trustees observed, in this regard, that the differences in fee rates between institutional clients and mutual funds are by no means uniform when examined by individual asset sectors, suggesting that differences in the pricing of investment management services to these types of clients reflect to a substantial degree historical competitive forces operating in separate market places. The Trustees considered the fact that fee rates across different asset classes are typically higher on average for mutual funds than for institutional clients, as well as the differences between the services that Putnam Management provides to the Putnam funds and those that it provides to institutional clients of the firm, but did not rely on such comparisons to any significant extent in concluding that the management fees proposed for your fund are reasonable.

Financial statements

A guide to financial statements

These sections of the report, as well as the accompanying Notes, constitute the fund’s financial statements.

The fund’s portfolio lists all the fund’s investments and their values as of the last day of the reporting period. Holdings are organized by asset type and industry sector, country, or state to show areas of concentration and diversification.

Statement of assets and liabilities shows how the fund’s net assets and share price are determined. All investment and non-investment assets are added together. Any unpaid expenses and other liabilities are subtracted from this total. The result is divided by the number of shares to determine the net asset value per share, which is calculated separately for each class of shares. (For funds with preferred shares, the amount subtracted from total assets includes the liquidation preference of preferred shares.)

Statement of operations shows the fund’s net investment gain or loss. This is done by first adding up all the fund’s earnings — from dividends and interest income — and subtracting its operating expenses to determine net investment income (or loss). Then, any net gain or loss the fund realized on the sales of its holdings — as well as any unrealized gains or losses over the period — is added to or subtracted from the net investment result to determine the fund’s net gain or loss for the fiscal period.

Statement of changes in net assets shows how the fund’s net assets were affected by the fund’s net investment gain or loss, by distributions to shareholders, and by changes in the number of the fund’s shares. It lists distributions and their sources (net investment income or realized capital gains) over the current reporting period and the most recent fiscal year-end. The distributions listed here may not match the sources listed in the Statement of operations because the distributions are determined on a tax basis and may be paid in a different period from the one in which they were earned. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. Actual results may vary. Any non-taxable return of capital cannot be determined until final tax calculations are completed after the end of the fund’s fiscal year.

Financial highlights provide an overview of the fund’s investment results, per-share distributions, expense ratios, net investment income ratios, and portfolio turnover in one summary table, reflecting the five most recent reporting periods. In a semiannual report, the highlights table also includes the current reporting period.

Notes to the fund’s portfolio

The notes to the fund’s portfolio are for the reporting period ended April 30, 2010.

* Percentages indicated are based on net assets of $521,042.

Accounting Standards Codification ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the fund’s investments. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the fund’s net assets as of the close of the reporting period:

Notes to financial statements 4/30/10 (Unaudited)

Note 1: Significant accounting policies

Putnam Global Sector Fund (the fund), is a diversified series of Putnam Funds Trust (the Trust), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The fund seeks capital appreciation.

The financial statements report on this fund, which may invest in the following Putnam Funds: Putnam Global Consumer Fund, Putnam Global Financials Fund, Putnam Global Health Care Fund, Putnam Global Industrials Fund, Putnam Global Natural Resources Fund, Putnam Global Technology Fund, Putnam Global Telecommunications Fund, Putnam Global Utilities Fund and Putnam Money Market Fund (the underlying Putnam Funds), which are managed by Putnam Investment Management, LLC (Putnam Management), the fund’s manager, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Investments, LLC. The financial statements of the underlying Putnam Funds contain additional information about the expenses and investments of the underlying Putnam Funds and are available upon request.

The fund offers class A, class B, class C, class M, class R and class Y shares. The fund began offering each class of shares on March 31, 2010. Class A and class M shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% and 3.50%, respectively, and generally do not pay a contingent deferred sales charge. Class B shares, which convert to class A shares after approximately eight years, do not pay a front-end sales charge and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, if those shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. Class C shares have a one-year 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge and do not convert to class A shares. Class R shares, which are offered to qualified employee benefit plans, are sold at net asset value. The expenses for class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares may differ based on the distribution fee of each class, which is identified in Note 2. Class Y shares, which are sold at net asset value, are generally subject to the same expenses as class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares, but do not bear a distribution fee. Class Y shares are generally only available to corporate and institutional clients and clients in other approved programs.

A 1.00% redemption fee may apply on any shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging into another fund) within 90 days of purchase. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in-capital.

Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses of the fund are borne pro-rata based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the distribution fees applicable to such classes). Each class votes as a class only with respect to its own distribution plan or other matters on which a class vote is required by law or determined by the Trustees. If the fund were liquidated, shares of each class would receive their pro-rata share of the net assets of the fund. In addition, the Trustees declare separate dividends on each class of shares.

In the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that may include agreements to indemnify another party under given circumstances. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be, but have not yet been, made against the fund. However, the fund’s management team expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the period from March 31, 2010 (commencement of operations) through April 30, 2010 (the reporting period). Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events after the Statement of assets and liabilities date through the date that the financial statements were issued, June 15, 2010, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.

A) Security valuation The price of the fund’s shares is based on its net asset value (NAV), which is in turn based on the NAV’s of the underlying Putnam Funds in which it invests. The NAV per share of each class equals the total value of its assets, less its liabilities, divided by the number of its outstanding shares. Shares are only valued as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange each day the exchange is open. Each underlying Putnam Fund, other than Putnam Money Market Fund, values its investments for which market quotations are readily available at the last reported sales price on their principal exchange, or official closing price for certain markets. If no sales are reported — as in the case of some securities traded over-the-counter — a security is valued at its last reported bid price. Market quotations are not considered to be readily available for certain debt

22



obligations; such investments are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees or dealers selected by Putnam Management. Such services or dealers determine valuations for normal institutional-size trading units of such securities using methods based on market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships, generally recognized by institutional traders, between securities (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings). Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange and therefore the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. Accordingly, on certain days, each underlying Putnam Fund will fair value foreign equity securities taking into account multiple factors, including movements in the U.S. securities markets. The number of days on which fair value prices will be used will depend on market activity and it is possible that fair value prices will be used by each underlying Putnam Fund to a significant extent. Securities quoted in foreign currencies, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. To the extent a pricing service or dealer is unable to value a security or provides a valuation which Putnam Management does not believe accurately reflects the security’s fair value, the security will be valued at fair value by Putnam Management. Certain investments, including certain restricted and illiquid securities and derivatives, are valued at fair value following procedures approved by the Trustees. Such valuations and procedures are reviewed periodically by the Trustees. The fair value of securities is generally determined as the amount that each underlying Putnam Fund could reasonably expect to realize from an orderly disposition of such securities over a reasonable period of time. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the value of a security in a current sale and does not reflect an actual market price, which may be different by a material amount.

The valuation of Putnam Money Market Fund’s, an underlying Putnam Fund, portfolio instruments is determined by means of the amortized cost method (which approximates market value) as set forth in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at its original cost and thereafter amortizing any discount or premium from its face value at a constant rate until maturity.

B) Security transactions and related investment income Security transactions, which consist of shares of the underlying Putnam Funds, are recorded on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Gains or losses from the sale of the underlying Putnam Funds are determined on the identified cost basis. Income and capital gain distributions from the underlying Putnam Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

C) Federal taxes It is the policy of the fund to distribute all of its taxable income within the prescribed time and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), applicable to regulated investment companies. It is also the intention of the fund to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Code. The fund is subject to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. No provision has been made for federal taxes on income, capital gains or unrealized appreciation on securities held nor for excise tax on income and capital gains.

The aggregate identified cost on a tax basis is $532,268, resulting in gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of $418 and $11,594, respectively, or net unrealized depreciation of $11,176.

D) Distributions to shareholders The fund normally distributes any net investment income and any realized capital gains annually. The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. Actual results may vary. Any non-taxable return of capital cannot be determined until final tax calculations are completed after the end of the fund’s fiscal year. Reclassifications are made to the fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations.

E) Expenses of the Trust Expenses directly charged or attributable to any fund will be paid from the assets of that fund. Generally, expenses of the Trust will be allocated among and charged to the assets of each fund on a basis that the Trustees deem fair and equitable, which may be based on the relative assets of each fund or the nature of the services performed and relative applicability to each fund.

F) Offering costs The offering costs of $120,036 are being fully amortized on a straight-line basis over a twelve-month period. The fund will reimburse Putnam Management for the payment of these expenses.

Note 2: Management fee, administrative services and other transactions

The fund does not pay a management fee to Putnam Management.

Putnam Management has contractually agreed to reimburse the fund for other expenses (not including brokerage, interest, taxes, investment-related expenses, extraordinary expenses and payments under the fund’s distribution plan) through March 31, 2011. During the reporting period, the fund’s expenses were reduced by $19,107 as a result of this limit.

Putnam Investments Limited (PIL), an affiliate of Putnam Management, is authorized by the Trustees to manage a separate portion of the assets of the fund as determined by Putnam Management from time to time. Putnam Management pays a quarterly sub-management fee to PIL for its services at an annual rate of 0.35% of the average net assets of the portion of the fund managed by PIL.

The Putnam Advisory Company, LLC (PAC), an affiliate of Putnam Management, is authorized by the Trustees to manage a separate portion of the assets of the fund, as designated from time to time by Putnam Management or PIL. Putnam Management or PIL, as applicable, pays a quarterly sub-advisory fee to PAC for its services at the annual rate of 0.35% of the average net assets of the portion of the fund’s assets for which PAC is engaged as sub-adviser.

Note 7: Regulatory matters and litigation

In late 2003 and 2004, Putnam Management settled charges brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and the Massachusetts Securities Division in connection with excessive short-term trading in Putnam funds. Distribution of payments from Putnam Management to certain open-end Putnam funds and their shareholders is expected to be completed in the next several months. These allegations and related matters have served as the general basis for certain lawsuits, including purported class action lawsuits against Putnam Management and, in a limited number of cases, some Putnam funds. Putnam Management believes that these lawsuits will have no material adverse effect on the funds or on Putnam Management’s ability to provide investment management services. In addition, Putnam Management has agreed to bear any costs incurred by the Putnam funds as a result of these matters.
