U.S. high-yield bonds are represented by the JPMorgan Developed High Yield Index, an unmanaged index of high-yield fixed-income securities issued in developed countries. Cash is represented by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. 3-month T-Bill Index used as a general measure for money market or cash instruments.

| 6 EO001 279927 2/13 Consistent diversification across multiple asset classes outperformed other strategies Asset allocation makes sense *Rebalanced annually. Asset classes shown in the tile chart and the performance comparison bar chart are represented by 11 indexes. The asset allocation scenario is based on investments evenly distributed across these asset classes. The risk allocation scenario is based on the following weightings: 30% TIPS, 25% U.S. bonds, 25% international bonds, 15% high-yield bonds, 5% emerging-market bonds, 5% REITs, 15% U.S. stocks, 10% international stocks, 5% emerging-market stocks, 15% commodities, and, to reflect the role of leverage, -50% cash. Annual performance is adjusted by adding 1% to the return of cash, then subtracting this sum from overall returns. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss. It is possible to lose money in a diversified portfolio. The examples are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect average annualized returns or the performance of any Putnam fund, which will fluctuate. Data are historical. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. All indexes are unmanaged and measure common sectors of global asset markets.

13
| 13 EO001 279927 2/13 Putnam 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 additional risks, such as the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions and the potential failure of the other party to the instrument to meet its obligations. 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, bond funds have ongoing fees and expenses.

| 16 EO001 279927 2/13 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 fund may invest a portion of its assets in small and/or midsize companies. Such investments increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. Funds that invest in government securities are not guaranteed. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk. Our allocation of assets among asset classes may hurt performance, and our efforts to diversify risk through the use of leverage and allocation decisions may not be successful. The use of derivatives involves additional risks, such as the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions and the potential failure of the other party to the instrument to meet its obligations. Growth stocks may be more susceptible to earnings disappointments, and value stocks may fail to rebound. 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. Our active trading strategies may lose money or not earn a return sufficient to cover trading and other costs. Our use of leverage increases these risks by increasing investment exposure. REITs involve the risks of real estate investing, including declining property values. The use of short selling may result in losses if the securities appreciate in value. Commodities involve the risks of changes in market, political, regulatory, and natural conditions.
