23. | 23 EO013 280390 3/13 Consider these risks before investing: Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Funds can invest in international investments, which involve risks such as currency fluctuations, economic instability, and political developments. The funds invest some or all of their assets in small and/or midsize companies. Such investments increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. The use of derivatives involves special risks and may result in losses. The funds can also have a significant portion of their holdings in bonds. Mutual 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 have more exposure to interest-rate risk than short-term bonds. Lower-rated bonds may offer higher yields in return for more risk. Unlike bonds, funds that invest in bonds have ongoing fees and expenses.

These hypothetical illustrations are based on rolling historical time period analysis and do not account for the effect of taxes, nor do they represent the performance of any Putnam fund or product, which will fluctuate. These illustrations use the historical rolling periods from 1926 to 2010 of stocks (as represented by an S&P 500 composite), bonds (as represented by a 20-year long-term government bond (50%) and a 20-year corporate bond (50%)), and cash (U.S. 30-day T-bills) to determine how long a portfolio would have lasted given various withdrawal rates. A one-year rolling average is used to calculate performance of the 20-year bonds. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of common stock performance. You cannot invest directly in an index.
