The aggregate identified cost on a tax basis is $25,751,569, resulting in gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of $779,258 and $29,861, respectively, or net unrealized appreciation of $749,397.

Security valuation: The price of the fund's shares are based on its net asset value (NAV), which is in turn based on the NAVs of the underlying Putnam Funds in which it invests, which are classified as Level 1 securities under Accounting Standards Codification 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(ASC 820). The NAVs of the underlying Putnam Funds are determined based on the policies contained in each of the underlying Putnam Fund's financial statements. 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.

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:
