Important disclosures
The Putnam Investments U.S. Large Cap Value Equity Composite (the "Composite") seeks to outperform the market over time by employing a value-oriented approach to identify potential opportunities for revaluation or fundamental improvement. The strategy uses a disciplined process that combines fundamental research and quantitative tools to pursue multiple alpha sources, with a strong overlay of risk control in portfolio construction. Leverage is not utilized in any account in this Composite, however, derivatives (including futures, exchange-traded or OTC options, and swaps) may be used in some portfolios for hedging or non-hedging purposes. The Composite's benchmark is the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Composite includes all fully discretionary accounts managed by Putnam Investments in this concentrated investment style. The Composite inception date was December 31, 1992. The Composite creation date was October 2, 2002.
The Russell 1000® Value Index is an unmanaged index of those companies in the large-cap Russell 1000® Index chosen for their value orientation.
Gross performance includes the deduction of transaction costs but does not include the deduction of management fees and other expenses that may be incurred in managing an investment account. A portfolio's return will be reduced by advisory and other fees. Net performance reflects the deduction of a model fee applied on a monthly basis, equal to the actual management fee incurred by a portfolio in the Composite or the highest management fee that would be charged to a prospect of the strategy, whichever is higher. The model fee may change over time. Actual advisory fees may vary among clients with the same investment strategy. The Composite includes all actual, fully discretionary accounts with substantially similar investment policies and objectives managed to the Composite's investment strategy. Benchmarks are generally taken from published sources and may have different calculation methodologies, pricing times, and/or foreign-exchange sources from the Composite. The effect of those differences is generally deemed to be immaterial. The securities holdings of the Composite strategy may differ materially from those of the index used for comparative purposes.
