Message from the Trustees

March 14, 2023

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

Stock and bond markets rose in early 2023 as inflation continued to ease and the U.S. Federal Reserve moderated its interest-rate increases. Investors showed optimism that the Fed might slow the economy and reduce inflation without causing a recession. Still, caution may be warranted. While the Fed has reduced the size of its interest-rate increases, it also signaled that more rate hikes are likely if concerns persist about a resurgence in inflation.

Putnam’s investment teams believe a recession is possible this year or next. However, they also are finding what they believe to be attractive investment opportunities in a range of asset classes, including stocks and taxable and tax-exempt bonds. As active researchers, our teams analyze interest-rate and credit risks as they seek out investments for your fund. They also consider how stocks and bonds are likely to perform in uncertain economic conditions.

Thank you for investing with Putnam.

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 table above do not reflect a sales charge of 4.00% for Sustainable Retirement Maturity Fund and 5.75% for all other funds; had they, returns would have been lower. See below and pages 10–33 for additional performance information. For a portion of the periods, the funds had expense limitations, without which returns would have been lower. To obtain the most recent month-end performance, visit putnam.com.

Effective February 10, 2023, the funds are managed with a materially different investment strategy than the strategy used to achieve the performance for the periods shown in the table above.

* With the exception of Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2050 Fund, 2055 Fund, 2060 Fund, and 2065 Fund (inceptions: 5/2/05, 11/30/10, 11/30/15, and 1/4/21, respectively), the inception date of the class A shares of the Sustainable Retirement Funds is 11/1/04.

Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

2 Sustainable Retirement Funds

How were market conditions during the six-month reporting period?

Midway through the period, signs of cooling inflation led to an improvement in market sentiment. Stocks also benefited from better-than-expected third-quarter 2022 earnings reports, steady employment, and optimism that the Federal Reserve would soon begin to slow the pace of interest-rate hikes in the second half of the period. On the other hand, the intensifying Russia-Ukraine War, civil unrest in China, fears of recession, and hawkish Fed rhetoric weighed on sentiment at times.

Global equities, as measured by the MSCI World Index [ND], posted a gain of 2.15% for the six-month reporting period. International stocks rose 9.52%, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index [ND]. Emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index [GD], climbed 4.92%. U.S. stocks returned –0.44%, as measured by the S&P 500 Index.

Bonds posted positive returns for the second half of the period but turned in low single-digit performance for the full six-month period. Stubbornly high inflation remained a top priority for the Fed and other central banks. In early November, the Fed raised its benchmark

Sustainable Retirement Funds 3

interest rate by 0.75%, the fourth consecutive increase of this magnitude. However, it signaled it might soon begin to slow the pace of tightening, which bolstered sentiment. A smaller hike of 0.50% in mid-December brought the federal funds rate to 4.25%–4.50%, a level not seen in 15 years. Fed officials indicated they would continue raising interest rates in 2023 until there was sufficient evidence inflation was sustainably trending downward.

For the six-month period, global bonds, as measured by the FTSE World Government Bond Index, returned –2.75%. Investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned –2.37%. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note began the period at 2.67%. After peaking at 4.25% on October 24, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield ended the period at 3.52%. High-yield bonds returned 1.38%, as measured by the JPMorgan Developed High Yield Index.

How did the funds perform for the six months ended January 31, 2023?

All the Sustainable Retirement Funds finished with positive absolute returns for the six-month reporting period. Funds intended for investors further from retirement outperformed near-retirement funds, as global equities experienced strength compared with bonds over the period. The glide path of the funds is an important tool that distinguishes Putnam from its peers. Our glide path starts off more aggressively than the average for our Lipper peer group. We hold a higher equity weight in the early part of the glide path for funds serving people retiring in the 2050s or 2060s. Our glide path becomes more conservative relative to our peers for the funds serving investors nearing retirement in the 2020s or 2030s.

Which strategies contributed to or detracted from performance during the period?

Overall, our active asset allocation decisions aided benchmark-relative performance. We entered the period with an underweight position to equity risk and moved further underweight by the end of the period. This helped performance as equities experienced volatility due to fear of recession and monetary policy tightening. An out-of-benchmark position to commodity risk that ranged from long to modestly long during the period led to a loss. The portfolios were neutral with respect to interest-rate risk.

Overall, our security selection decisions boosted benchmark-relative performance. Our quantitative U.S. large-cap core and fundamental U.S. large-cap value equity strategies lifted performance over the period. Our opportunistic fixed income strategy also enhanced results.

What is your near-term outlook for the markets?

Volatility was a major constant across markets in 2022. We expect high inflation, monetary policy tightening, the war in Ukraine, and recession fears will continue to weigh on market sentiment for the foreseeable future.

Our near-term outlook for equities is bearish. We believe the market is too optimistic with respect to a Fed policy pivot. We believe the Fed is unlikely to execute a soft landing and will either continue hiking interest rates more than the market anticipates or trigger a recession. Either path would prove negative for equities, in our view.

Our near-term outlook for rate-sensitive fixed income is slightly bearish. Given the Fed’s statement following its February 2023 meeting and jobs data, we believe we will see more hawkish language from the central bank as it continues to tame inflation.

Our view on commodities is slightly bullish. A strengthening U.S. dollar, rising real yields

4 Sustainable Retirement Funds

[which adjust for the impact of inflation], and building recessionary forces are headwinds for commodities, in our view. However, in the medium term, we believe supply constraints are a reason to be bullish.

Against this backdrop, we continue to have conviction in our investment strategies given our ability to adapt the portfolios to changing market conditions.

Thank you, Brett, for your time and insights today.

Of special interest

Putnam Sustainable Retirement Funds were repositioned from Putnam RetirementReady Funds on February 10, 2023. As part of the repositioning, the funds shifted their focus to investing primarily in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) known as the underlying funds. The underlying funds focus on investments with positive sustainability or environmental, social, and governance (ESG) characteristics. For more information, please see pages 8–9 for a description of the underlying funds.

ABOUT DERIVATIVES

Derivatives are an increasingly common type of investment instrument, the performance of which is derived from an underlying security, index, currency, or other area of the capital markets. Derivatives employed by the underlying funds’ managers generally serve one of two main purposes: to implement a strategy that may be difficult or more expensive to invest in through traditional securities, or to hedge unwanted risk associated with a particular position.

For example, the underlying funds’ managers might use currency forward contracts to capitalize on an anticipated change in exchange rates between two currencies. This approach would require a significantly smaller outlay of capital than purchasing traditional bonds denominated in the underlying currencies. In another example, the managers may identify a bond that they believe is undervalued relative to its risk of default, but may seek to reduce the interest-rate risk of that bond by using interest-rate swaps, a derivative through which two parties “swap” payments based on the movement of certain rates. In other examples, the managers may use options and futures contracts to hedge against a variety of risks by establishing a combination of long and short exposures to specific equity markets or sectors.

Like any other investment, derivatives may not appreciate in value and may lose money. Derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities. And because derivatives typically represent contractual agreements between two financial institutions, derivatives entail “counterparty risk,” which is the risk that the other party is unable or unwilling to pay. Putnam monitors the counterparty risks we assume. For example, Putnam often enters into collateral agreements that require the counterparties to post collateral on a regular basis to cover their obligations to the underlying funds. Counterparty risk for exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps is mitigated by the daily exchange of margin and other safeguards against default through their respective clearinghouses.

Sustainable Retirement Funds 5

The funds’ underlying investments as of 1/31/23

Historically, each Putnam Sustainable Retirement Fund invests, to varying degrees, in a variety of Putnam mutual funds. This section describes the goals and strategies of each of the underlying Putnam mutual funds as of January 31, 2023.

Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Balanced Fund

The fund’s portfolio is diversified across stocks and bonds in global markets and is designed for investors seeking total return. The fund’s strategic equity allocation is 60% (the range is 45% to 75%), with the balance invested in bonds and money market instruments. The Portfolio Managers can adjust the allocations based on market conditions.

Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Conservative Fund

The fund’s globally diversified portfolio emphasizes bonds over stocks and is designed for investors who want to protect the value of their investment while receiving regular income and protection against inflation. The strategic fixed-income allocation is 70% (with a range of 55% to 85%), with the balance invested in stocks and money market instruments. The Portfolio Managers can adjust allocations based on market conditions.

Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Equity Fund

The fund’s portfolio invests mainly in common stocks (growth or value stocks or both) of large and midsize companies worldwide and is designed for investors seeking long-term growth. The fund typically allocates approximately 75% of its assets to investments in U.S. companies and 25% of its assets to international companies, but allocations may vary. The Portfolio Managers can adjust allocations based on market conditions.

Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Growth Fund

The fund’s portfolio invests mainly in equity securities (growth or value stocks or both) of U.S. and international companies of any size and is designed for investors seeking capital appreciation with moderate risk. The fund’s strategic equity weighting is 80% (the range is 65% to 95%), with the balance invested in a range of fixed-income investments. The Portfolio Managers can adjust allocations based on market conditions.

Putnam Fixed Income Absolute Return Fund^*and Putnam Multi-Asset Absolute Return Fund^**

Each fund pursues an “absolute return” strategy that seeks to earn a positive total return over a reasonable period of time regardless of market conditions or general market direction. Putnam Fixed Income Absolute Return Fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio reflecting uncorrelated fixed-income strategies. Putnam Multi-Asset Absolute Return Fund combines two independent investment strategies: a beta strategy, which provides broad exposure to investment markets, and an alpha strategy, which seeks returns from active trading. Actual allocations of both funds will vary.

Putnam Government Money Market Fund

The fund seeks as high a rate of current income as Putnam Management believes is consistent with preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity. The fund invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, U.S. government securities, and repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized by U.S. government securities or cash.

^*Effective 2/28/23, the fund was renamed Putnam Core Bond Fund.

^**Effective 2/17/23, the fund merged into Putnam Multi-Asset Income Fund.

Current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted past performance, which cannot guarantee future results. After-sales-charge returns for class A shares reflect the deduction of the maximum 5.75% sales charge levied at the time of purchase. The maximum sales charges for Sustainable Retirement Maturity Fund class A shares is 4.00%. Class B share returns after the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) reflect the applicable CDSC, which is 5% in the first year, declining over time to 1% in the sixth year, and is eliminated thereafter. Class C share returns after CDSC reflect a 1% CDSC for the first year that is eliminated thereafter. Class R, R3, R4, R5, R6, and Y shares have no initial sales charge or CDSC. Performance for class R3 shares prior to their inception is derived from the performance of class Y shares, adjusted for the higher 12b-1 and investor servicing fees applicable to class R3 shares (relative to the comparable fees applicable to class Y shares prior to the inception of class R3 shares). Performance for class R4 shares prior to their inception is derived from the performance of class Y shares, adjusted for the higher investor servicing fees applicable to class R4 shares (relative to the comparable fees applicable to class Y shares prior to the inception of class R4 shares). For the 2060, 2055, 2050, and 2045 Funds, performance for class R5 shares prior to their inception is derived from the historical performance of class R6 shares and has not been adjusted for the lower fund expenses applicable to class R5 shares (relative to the comparable expenses applicable to class R6 shares prior to the inception of class R5 shares); had it, returns would have been higher. For the 2040, 2035, 2030, 2025, and Maturity Funds, performance for class R5 shares prior to their inception is derived from the historical performance of class R6 shares, adjusted for higher investor servicing fees applicable to class R5 shares (relative to the comparable fees applicable to class R6 shares prior to the inception of class R5 shares). Performance for class R6 shares prior to their inception is derived from the historical performance of class Y shares and has not been adjusted for the lower investor servicing fees for class R6 shares (relative to the comparable fees applicable to class Y shares prior to the inception of class R6 shares); had it, returns would have been higher.

For a portion of the periods, these funds had expense limitations, without which returns would have been lower.

Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

For the funds with eight years of performance, class B and C share performance reflects conversion to class A shares after eight years.

The classification of distributions, if any, is an estimate. Before-sales-charge share value and current dividend rate for class A shares, if applicable, do not take into account any sales charge levied at the time of purchase. After-sales-charge share value, current dividend rate, and current 30-day SEC yield, if applicable, are calculated assuming that the maximum sales charge (5.75% for class A shares for all funds except Sustainable Retirement Maturity Fund, for which the rate is 4.00% for class A shares) was levied at the time of purchase. Final distribution information will appear on your year-end tax forms.

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’s expenses were limited; had expenses not been limited, they 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.

^*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 1/31/23.

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 (184); and then dividing that result by the number of days in the year (365).

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 each of the Sustainable Retirement Funds 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.

Consider these risks before investing

If the quantitative models or data that are used in managing an underlying fund prove to be incorrect or incomplete, investment decisions made in reliance on the models or data may not produce the desired results and the fund may realize losses. Our allocation of assets among permitted asset categories may hurt performance.

The value of investments in the underlying funds’ portfolios may fall or fail to rise over extended periods of time for a variety of reasons, including general economic, political, or financial market conditions; investor sentiment and market perceptions; government actions; geopolitical events or changes; and factors related to a specific issuer, asset class, geography, industry, or sector. These and other factors may lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in the underlying funds’ portfolio holdings.

Growth stocks may be more susceptible to earnings disappointments, and value stocks may fail to rebound. Investments in small and/or midsize companies increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk (the risk of bond prices falling if interest rates rise) and credit risk (the risk of an issuer defaulting on interest or principal payments). Interest-rate risk is generally greater for longer-term bonds, and credit risk is generally greater for below-investment-grade bonds. Lower-rated bonds may offer higher yields in return for more risk. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which means that they may increase in value less than other bonds when interest rates decline and decline in value more than other bonds when interest rates rise. The underlying funds may have to invest the proceeds from prepaid investments, including mortgage- and asset-backed investments, in other investments with less attractive terms and yields. International investing involves currency, economic, and political risks. Emerging market securities carry illiquidity and volatility risks.

Investing in underlying funds with an ESG or sustainability focus may result in each fund having exposure to underlying funds that invest in certain types of companies, industries, or sectors that the market may not favor. In evaluating an investment opportunity for the underlying funds, the underlying funds’ managers make investment decisions without the availability of optimal ESG-related data (which may be even less available with securitized debt instruments) or based on information and data that is incomplete or inaccurate. The net asset value (NAV) of an underlying fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the underlying fund’s holdings. The underlying funds have a limited number of financial institutions that act as authorized participants, which are not obligated to engage in creation and/or redemption transactions, and there may be a significantly diminished trading market for underlying fund shares, or underlying fund shares may trade at a discount (or premium) to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or de-listing. The underlying funds have a limited public trading history and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be maintained or that the market for underlying fund shares will operate as intended. Certain accounts or affiliates of Putnam Management will own or control a substantial amount of an underlying fund’s shares, and dispositions of a large number of shares may adversely affect the underlying fund’s liquidity and net assets. Some of the underlying funds may effect creations and redemptions in cash, and investments by a fund in an underlying fund’s shares may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that distributes portfolio securities entirely in-kind. Two of the underlying funds are semi-transparent ETFs, which do not disclose to the public what assets they hold each day. This may create additional risks, including that an investor may have to pay more money to trade the semi-transparent ETF’s shares.

Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or instrument’s credit quality or value.

Our investment techniques, analyses, and judgments may not produce the outcome we intend. The investments we select for the underlying funds may not perform as well as other securities that we do not select for the underlying funds. We, or the underlying funds’ other service providers, may experience disruptions or operating errors that could have a negative effect on the underlying funds. You can lose money by investing in the funds.

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.

Before sales charge, or net asset value, is the price, or value, of one share of a mutual fund, without a sales charge. Before-sales-charge figures fluctuate with market conditions. They are calculated by dividing the net assets of each class of shares by the number of outstanding shares in the class.

After sales charge is the price of a mutual fund share plus the maximum sales charge levied at the time of purchase. After-sales-charge performance figures shown here assume the 5.75% maximum sales charge for class A shares (4.00% for class A shares of Putnam Sustainable Retirement Maturity Fund).

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 over time 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 (all funds except for Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2065 Fund) are closed to new investments and are only available by exchange from another Putnam fund or through dividend and/or capital gains reinvestment. They are not subject to an initial sales charge and 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 R shares are not subject to an initial sales charge or CDSC and are only available to employer-sponsored retirement plans.

Class R3 shares are not subject to an initial sales charge or CDSC and are only available to employer-sponsored retirement plans.

Class R4 shares are not subject to an initial sales charge or CDSC and carry no 12b-1 fee. They are only available to employer-sponsored retirement plans.

Class R5 shares are not subject to an initial sales charge or CDSC and carry no 12b-1 fee. They are only available to employer-sponsored retirement plans.

Class R6 shares are not subject to an initial sales charge or CDSC and carry no 12b-1 fee. They are generally only available to employer-sponsored retirement plans, corporate and institutional clients, and clients in other approved programs.

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.

Other information for shareholders

Important notice regarding delivery of shareholder documents

In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, Putnam sends a single notice of internet availability, or a single printed copy, of annual and semiannual shareholder reports, prospectuses, and proxy statements to Putnam shareholders who share the same address, unless a shareholder requests otherwise. If you prefer to receive your own copy of these documents, please call Putnam at 1-800-225-1581, and Putnam will begin sending individual copies within 30 days.

Proxy voting

Putnam is committed to managing our mutual funds in the best interests of our shareholders. The Putnam funds’ proxy voting guidelines and procedures, as well as information regarding how your fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2022, are available in the Individual Investors section of putnam.com and on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. If you have questions about finding forms on the SEC’s website, you may call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. You may also obtain the Putnam funds’ proxy voting guidelines and procedures at no charge by calling Putnam’s Shareholder Services at 1-800-225-1581.

Fund portfolio holdings

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-PORT within 60 days of the end of such fiscal quarter. Shareholders may obtain each fund’s Form N-PORT on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Prior to its use of Form N-PORT, each fund filed its complete schedule of its portfolio holdings with the SEC on Form N-Q, which is available online at www.sec.gov.

Trustee and employee fund ownership

Putnam employees and members of the Board of Trustees place their faith, confidence, and, most importantly, investment dollars in Putnam mutual funds. As of January 31, 2023, Putnam employees had approximately $478,000,000 and the Trustees had approximately $64,000,000 invested in Putnam mutual funds.

Financial statements

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

The fund’s portfolio lists each 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 each 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 each 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 each 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 period.

Financial highlights provide an overview of each 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

Unless noted otherwise, the notes to the funds’ portfolios are for the close of each fund’s reporting period, which ran from August 1, 2022 through January 31, 2023 (the reporting period). Within the following notes to the portfolio, references to “ASC 820” represent Accounting Standards Codification ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

^†††Affiliated Company (Note 5).

^§Effective 2/28/23, the fund was renamed Putnam Core Bond Fund.

^ΔEffective 2/17/23, the fund merged into Putnam Multi-Asset Income Fund.

50 Sustainable Retirement Funds

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 each 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 funds’ net assets as of the close of the reporting period:


			Valuation inputs
Investments in securities:	Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total

Sustainable Retirement Funds 107

Notes to financial statements 1/31/23 (Unaudited)

Within the following Notes to financial statements, references to “State Street” represent State Street Bank and Trust Company, references to “the SEC” represent the Securities and Exchange Commission and references to “Putnam Management” represent Putnam Investment Management, LLC, each fund’s manager, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Investments, LLC. Unless otherwise noted, the “reporting period” represents the period from August 1, 2022 through January 31, 2023.

Effective February 10, 2023, each of the Putnam Sustainable Retirement Funds are named: Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2065 Fund (2065 Fund), Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2060 Fund (2060 Fund), Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2055 Fund (2055 Fund), Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2050 Fund (2050 Fund), Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2045 Fund (2045 Fund), Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2040 Fund (2040 Fund), Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2035 Fund (2035 Fund), Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2030 Fund (2030 Fund), Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2025 Fund (2025 Fund), and Putnam Sustainable Retirement Maturity Fund (Maturity Fund) (collectively the funds). Each fund is a diversified series of Putnam Target Date Funds, (the Trust), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company. Each fund, except Maturity Fund, seeks capital appreciation and current income consistent with a decreasing emphasis on capital appreciation and an increasing emphasis on current income as it approaches its target date. Maturity Fund seeks as high a rate of current income as Putnam Management believes is consistent with preservation of capital. Prior to February 10, 2023 the Putnam RetirementReady® Funds were named the following: Putnam RetirementReady 2065 Fund (2065 Fund), Putnam RetirementReady 2060 Fund (2060 Fund), Putnam RetirementReady 2055 Fund (2055 Fund), Putnam RetirementReady 2050 Fund (2050 Fund), Putnam RetirementReady 2045 Fund (2045 Fund), Putnam RetirementReady 2040 Fund (2040 Fund), Putnam RetirementReady 2035 Fund (2035 Fund), Putnam RetirementReady 2030 Fund (2030 Fund), Putnam RetirementReady 2025 Fund (2025 Fund) and Putnam RetirementReady Maturity Fund (Maturity Fund).

Currently there are ten separate funds, of which nine have a target date specified by the calendar year in the name of each fund. The target dates are in five-year increments beginning with the year 2025. The tenth fund is named Maturity Fund. Amounts invested in each target date fund are allocated among underlying Putnam funds based on the fund’s target date. The target percentages for each target date fund gradually change over time based on the number of years that remain until the target date of the fund so that a fund’s asset allocation will become more conservative as the fund approaches its target date. The asset allocation of each target date fund is designed to provide a diversified investment that Putnam Management believes is neither overly aggressive nor overly conservative for a typical investor planning to retire (or otherwise begin using the invested funds) in the target year. When a fund’s target percentages correspond to those of Maturity Fund, which currently is expected to occur during the latter part of the target year, the fund will be merged into Maturity Fund.

These financial statements report on each fund, which may invest in certain Putnam funds which are managed by Putnam Management. 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. As of the following dates, each fund may invest in the following funds:


As of January 31, 2023	Effective February 10, 2023
Putnam Fixed Income Absolute Return Fund Class P ^§	Putnam Sustainable Leaders ETF
Putnam Multi-Asset Absolute Return Fund Class P ^Δ	Putnam Sustainable Future ETF
Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Balanced Fund Class P	Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF

Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Equity Fund Class P	Putnam ESG Core Bond ETF
Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Growth Fund Class P	Putnam ESG High Yield ETF

^§Effective 2/28/23, the fund was renamed Putnam Core Bond Fund.

^ΔEffective 2/17/23, the fund merged into Putnam Multi-Asset Income Fund.

108 Sustainable Retirement Funds

Each fund offers the following share classes. The expense for each class of share may differ based on the distribution and investor servicing fees of each class, which are identified in Note 2.

^‡Purchases of class B shares are closed to new and existing investors except by exchange from class B shares of another Putnam fund or through dividend and/or capital gains reinvestment.

^**Not available to all investors.

^†Sales charge 5.75% for all funds except Maturity Fund which is 4.00%.

In the normal course of business, each fund enters into contracts that may include agreements to indemnify another party under given circumstances. Each 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 each fund. However, each fund’s management team expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

Each fund has entered into contractual arrangements with an investment adviser, administrator, distributor, shareholder servicing agent and custodian, who each provide services to the fund. Unless expressly stated otherwise, shareholders are not parties to, or intended beneficiaries of these contractual arrangements, and these contractual arrangements are not intended to create any shareholder right to enforce them against the service providers or to seek any remedy under them against the service providers, either directly or on behalf of each fund.

Under each fund’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, any claims asserted against or on behalf of the Putnam Funds, including claims against Trustees and Officers, must be brought in state and federal courts located within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Note 1: Significant accounting policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each 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. 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 have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.

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. Shares of each class would receive their pro-rata share of the net assets of the fund, if that fund were liquidated. In addition, the Trustees declare separate dividends on each class of shares.

Security valuation The price of each fund’s shares is 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 or Level 2 securities under Accounting Standards Codification 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). The NAVs of

Sustainable Retirement Funds 109

the underlying Putnam funds are determined based on the policies contained in each 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 scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange each day the exchange is open.

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.

Interfund lending Each fund, along with other Putnam funds, may participate in an interfund lending program pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC. This program allows the funds to borrow from or lend to other Putnam funds that permit such transactions. Interfund lending transactions are subject to each fund’s investment policies and borrowing and lending limits. Interest earned or paid on the interfund lending transaction will be based on the average of certain current market rates. During the reporting period, the funds did not utilize the program.

Federal taxes It is the policy of each fund to distribute all of its taxable income within the prescribed time period 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 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 a liability to record for 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 of the funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or life of the fund, if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Pursuant to federal income tax regulations applicable to regulated investment companies, Maturity Fund has elected to defer certain capital losses of $484,775 recognized during the period between November 1, 2021 and July 31, 2022 to its fiscal year ending July 31, 2023.

Pursuant to federal income tax regulations applicable to regulated investment companies, the following funds have elected to defer the following amounts to their fiscal year ending July 31, 2023 of late year ordinary losses ((i) ordinary losses recognized between January 1, 2022 and July 31, 2022, and (ii) specified ordinary and currency losses recognized between November 1, 2021 and July 31, 2022).


2055 Fund	$7,866

Tax cost of investments includes adjustments to net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) which may not necessarily be final tax cost basis adjustments, but closely approximate the tax basis unrealized gains and losses that may be realized and distributed to shareholders. The aggregate identified cost on a tax basis resulting in gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, respectively, and net unrealized for each fund are as follows:

Distributions to shareholders Each fund normally distributes any net investment income and any net realized capital gains annually, except Maturity Fund, which normally distributes any net investment income monthly and any net 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.

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.

Note 2: Management fee, administrative services and other transactions

Under the funds’ management contract (the “Management Contract”), each fund pays a management fee to Putnam Management. The fee for each fund is calculated and paid monthly based on an annual rate and the fund’s average net assets for the month. For Maturity Fund, the annual rate is 0.46%. For each other fund, the annual rate is based on the number of years remaining (determined as of September 30th of each year and applicable through September 30th of the following year) until the date referenced in the fund’s name (the “Target Date”). “Average net assets” means the average of all of the determinations of a fund’s net asset value at the close of business on each business day during each month. The annual rate for each fund for the reporting period were:


2065 Fund	0.55%
2060 Fund	0.54%
2055 Fund	0.53%
2050 Fund	0.52%

2035 Fund	0.49%
2030 Fund	0.48%

Note 6: Market, credit and other risks

In the normal course of business, the underlying Putnam 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 underlying Putnam funds may be exposed to additional credit risk that an institution or other entity with which the fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. The underlying Putnam funds may invest in foreign securities that involve certain risks, including those related to economic instability, unfavorable political developments, and currency fluctuations. 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 Covid–19 pandemic and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in, among other effects, significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, significant changes in fiscal and monetary policies, and economic downturns and recessions. The effects of the Covid–19 pandemic have negatively affected, and may continue to negatively affect, the global economy, the economies of the United States and other individual countries, the financial performance of individual issuers, sectors, industries, asset classes, and markets, and the value, volatility, and liquidity of particular securities and other assets. The effects of the Covid–19 pandemic also are likely to exacerbate other risks that apply to the fund, which could negatively impact the fund’s performance and lead to losses on your investment in the fund. The duration of the Covid–19 pandemic and its effects cannot be determined with certainty.

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. The fund reserves the right to revise or terminate the exchange privilege.

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 website.

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.
