Allocations by fund as of 1/31/24
Each Sustainable Retirement Fund has a different target date that may be attractive to investors who plan to retire or otherwise begin withdrawing assets from their account, typically at retirement. The funds other than Putnam Sustainable Retirement Maturity Fund are generally weighted more heavily toward more aggressive, higher-risk investments when the target date of the fund is far off, and more conservative, lower-risk investments when the target date of the fund is near. The principal value of the funds is not guaranteed at any time, including the target date. The table does not reflect temporary investments in Putnam Government Money Market Fund or in cash or cash equivalents.

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 1/31/24. 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 (366).

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.

* 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 1/31/24.
† Expenses are calculated by multiplying the expense ratio by the average account value for the six-month period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the six-month period (184); and then dividing that result by the number of days in the year (366).

Important notice regarding delivery of shareholder documents
In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, your fund’s manager sends a single notice of internet availability, or a single printed copy, of annual and semiannual shareholder reports, prospectuses, and proxy statements to shareholders who share the same address, unless a shareholder requests otherwise. If you prefer to receive your own copy of these documents, please call 1-800-225-1581 or, for exchange-traded funds only, 1-833-228-5577. We will begin sending individual copies within 30 days.

Financial statements
These sections of the report, as well as the accompanying Notes, constitute each fund’s financial statements.
The funds’ portfolios list 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 (not required for money market funds) 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, 2023 through January 31, 2024 (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.
Ω Affiliated company (Note 5). For investments in Putnam Government Money Market Fund Class G, the rate quoted in the security description is the annualized 7-day yield of the fund at the close of the reporting period.
| 16 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:

Each of the Putnam Sustainable Retirement Funds (collectively the funds) are named:
| Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2065 Fund (2065 Fund) | Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2040 Fund (2040 Fund) |
| Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2060 Fund (2060 Fund) | Putnam Sustainable Retirement 2035 Fund (2035 Fund) |

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 target date 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. Each target date fund is one of a series of target date funds that invest primarily in ETFs that focus on investments with positive sustainability or ESG characteristics, referred to as underlying funds. The underlying funds are sponsored by Putnam Management and advised by Putnam Management. Two underlying funds are subadvised by PanAgora. Each target date fund’s asset allocation strategy may be attractive to investors who plan to retire or otherwise intend to begin making periodic withdrawals of their investments on or about the funds’ target date. Each target date fund is designed to provide diversification among different asset classes by investing its assets in the underlying funds.
Maturity Fund seeks as high a rate of current income as Putnam Management believes is consistent with preservation of capital. The fund employs an asset allocation strategy designed for investors who are already in retirement or who plan to retire (or otherwise begin withdrawing the invested funds) in the near future. The fund is designed to provide diversification among different asset classes by investing its assets primarily in ETFs that focus on investments with positive sustainability or ESG characteristics, referred to as underlying funds. The underlying funds are sponsored by Putnam Management and advised by Putnam Management. Two underlying funds are subadvised by PanAgora.
| 78 Sustainable Retirement Funds |
Under normal circumstances, each fund will invest in underlying funds (which, for purposes of this policy, include money market mutual funds advised by Putnam Management or its affiliates) such that, in the aggregate, it has indirect exposure to investments that meet Putnam Management’s or PanAgora’s, as applicable, sustainability or ESG criteria and that represent at least 80% of the value of its net assets. This policy is non-fundamental and may be changed only after 60 days’ notice to shareholders. Putnam Management may not apply ESG or sustainability criteria to investments that are not subject to the fund’s 80% policy, and such investments may not meet the applicable ESG or sustainability criteria. Each fund, through its investments in underlying funds, makes use of a range of ESG- and sustainability-oriented investment strategies and invests across a variety of asset classes. For example, Putnam Management’s sustainability criteria for the investments of Putnam Sustainable Leaders ETF and Putnam Sustainable Future ETF (two of the underlying funds that invest primarily in equities) differ from the ESG approach used by Putnam Management for the fixed-income underlying funds, and from PanAgora’s quantitatively-oriented ESG equity approach for the underlying funds that it subadvises. These differences may arise both from differences in the underlying funds’ asset classes (such as the characteristics of non-U.S. versus U.S. issuers, or the structural differences (i.e., position in the capital structure) between equity and fixed income investments) as well as from different managers’ styles. In implementing an underlying fund’s investment strategy, the portfolio managers of the underlying fund may apply and weigh different ESG criteria differently than the portfolio managers of the other underlying funds. There are also expected to be differences in how the portfolio managers of the underlying funds source ESG-related or sustainability-oriented research (e.g., proprietary versus third-party research) and/or their approach to selecting companies based on ESG or sustainability criteria.
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.
Pending investment in underlying funds, the fund also expects to temporarily invest cash balances resulting from purchase activity by fund shareholders in Putnam Government Money Market Fund, a money market mutual fund sponsored by Putnam Management, or in cash or cash equivalents. In addition, the fund also expects to invest a portion of its assets in Putnam Government Money Market Fund or in cash or cash equivalents in order to manage shareholder redemptions. Large positions in Putnam Government Money Market Fund or in cash or cash equivalents may dampen performance and may prevent the fund from achieving its goals. The percentage of a fund invested in Putnam Government Money Market Fund is expected to vary over time and will depend on the level of purchase and redemption activity by fund shareholders.
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 date, each fund may invest in the following funds:
| Effective January 31, 2024 | |
| Putnam Sustainable Leaders ETF | Putnam ESG Core Bond ETF |
| Putnam Sustainable Future ETF | Putnam ESG High Yield ETF |
| Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF | Putnam ESG Ultra Short ETF |
| Putnam PanAgora ESG Emerging Markets Equity ETF | Putnam Government Money Market Fund |
| Sustainable Retirement Funds 79 |
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.

** 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 the Trust’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, any claims asserted by a shareholder against or on behalf of the Trust (or its series), 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
Each fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946) and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP), including, but not limited to, ASC 946. 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
| 80 Sustainable Retirement Funds |
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 in turn will be generally based on the last sale price or closing price of the underlying Putnam ETFs in which it invests (and in the case of Putnam Government Money Market Fund, based on its NAV), which are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 securities under Accounting Standards Codification Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). The NAVs of the underlying Putnam ETFs are determined based on the policies contained in each underlying Putnam ETF’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.
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.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred for an unlimited period and the carry forwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. At July 31, 2023, the following funds had capital loss carryovers available in the following amounts, to the extent allowed by the Code, to offset future net capital gain, if any:
| Loss carryover | |||
| Short-term | Long-term | Total | |
| 2065 Fund | $18,997 | $17,892 | $36,889 |
| 2060 Fund | 398,908 | 904,036 | 1,302,944 |
| 2050 Fund | — | 10,623,750 | 10,623,750 |
| 2045 Fund | 204,367 | 14,261,404 | 14,465,771 |
| 2040 Fund | 271,710 | 20,352,871 | 20,624,581 |
| 2035 Fund | 733,685 | 22,748,432 | 23,482,117 |

| Maturity Fund | 99,960 | 43,979,206 | 44,079,166 |
Pursuant to federal income tax regulations applicable to regulated investment companies, the following funds have elected to defer certain capital losses of the following amounts, recognized during the period between November 1, 2022 and July 31, 2023 to its fiscal year ending July 31, 2024.
| 2055 Fund | $5,333,093 |
| 2025 Fund | $33,359,755 |

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:
| Net unrealized | ||||
| Unrealized | Unrealized | appreciation/ | Cost for federal | |
| appreciation | (depreciation) | (depreciation) | income tax purposes | |
| 2065 Fund | $113,713 | $(731) | $112,982 | $782,989 |

Distributions to shareholders Each fund normally distributes any net investment income, if any, and any distributions from capital gains, if any, annually, except Maturity Fund, which normally distributes any net investment income monthly and any distributions from capital gains annually, if any. 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% |
| 2045 Fund | 0.51% |
| 2040 Fund | 0.50% |
| 2035 Fund | 0.49% |
| 2030 Fund | 0.48% |
| 2025 Fund | 0.47% |
| Maturity Fund | 0.46% |
| 82 Sustainable Retirement Funds |
Putnam Management has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of each fund through at least November 30, 2026 for all the funds (with the exception of 2060 Fund, where the contractual agreement is through November 30, 2033) in an amount equal to the fund’s acquired fund fees and expenses. During the reporting period, expenses for each fund were reduced by the following amounts as a result of this waiver:
| Fees waived and reimbursed | ||

| 2030 Fund | 524,027 | |
| 2025 Fund | 434,386 | |
| Maturity Fund | 429,236 | |
Putnam Management has also contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of each class of shares of each fund through at least November 30, 2026 for all funds (with the exception of 2060 Fund, where the contractual agreement is through November 30, 2033) in an amount sufficient to result in total annual fund operating expenses for the following class shares of the fund (exclusive of payments under the fund’s distribution plans, brokerage, interest, taxes, investment-related expenses, acquired fund fees and extraordinary expenses) that equal the following annual rates of the fund’s average net assets.
| Annual rates | |

PIL is authorized by the Trustees to manage a separate portion of the assets of each fund as determined by Putnam Management from time to time. PIL did not manage any portion of the assets of the funds during the reporting period. If Putnam Management were to engage the services of PIL, Putnam Management would pay a quarterly sub-management fee to PIL for its services at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average net assets of the portion of the funds managed by PIL.
On January 1, 2024, a subsidiary of Franklin Templeton acquired Putnam U.S. Holdings I, LLC (“Putnam Holdings”), the parent company of Putnam Management and PIL, in a stock and cash transaction (the “Transaction”). As a result of the Transaction, Putnam Management (the investment manager to the fund and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Holdings) and PIL (sub-adviser to the fund and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Holdings) became indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Franklin Templeton. The Transaction also resulted in the automatic termination of the investment management contract between the fund and Putnam Management and the sub-management contract for the fund between Putnam Management and PIL that were in place for the fund before the Transaction (together, the “Previous Advisory Contracts”). However, Putnam Management and PIL continue to provide uninterrupted services with respect to the 2065 Fund and Maturity Fund pursuant to new investment management and sub-management contracts that were approved by fund shareholders at a shareholder meeting held in connection with the Transaction and that took effect on January 1, 2024. The terms of the new investment management and sub-management contracts are substantially similar to those of the previous investment management and sub-management contracts, and the fee rates payable under the new investment management and sub-management contracts are the same as the fee rates under the previous investment management and sub-management contracts.
With respect to 2025 Fund, 2030 Fund and 2035 Fund, for the period January 1, 2024 through January 4, 2024, February 14, 2024 and February 21, 2024, respectively, Putnam Management and PIL continued to provide uninterrupted services with respect to the fund pursuant to interim investment management and sub-management contracts (together, the “Interim Advisory Contracts”) that were approved by the Board of Trustees. The terms of the Interim Advisory Contracts were identical to those of the Previous Advisory Contracts, except for the term of the contracts and those provisions required by regulation. On January 4, 2024, February 14, 2024 and February 21, 2024, respectively, new investment management and sub-management contracts were approved by fund shareholders at a shareholder meeting held in connection with the Transaction (the “New Advisory Contracts”). The New Advisory Contracts took effect on January 4, 2024, February 14, 2024 and February 21, 2024, respectively, and replaced the Interim Advisory Contracts. The terms of the New Advisory Contracts are substantially similar to those of the Previous Advisory Contracts, and the fee rates payable under the New Advisory Contracts are the same as the fee rates under the Previous Advisory Contracts.
For 2060 Fund, 2055 Fund, 2050 Fund, 2045 Fund and 2040 Fund, a shareholder meeting has been called to approve new investment management and sub-management contracts. In the meantime, Putnam Management and PIL continue to provide uninterrupted services with respect to the fund pursuant to interim investment management and sub-management contracts (together, the “Interim Advisory Contracts”) that were approved by the Board of Trustees for use while the fund continues to seek shareholder approval of new investment management and sub-management contracts. The terms of the Interim Advisory Contracts are identical to those of the investment management and sub-management contracts for the fund that were in place prior to consummation of the Transaction, except for the term of the contracts and those provisions required by regulation.
The Interim Advisory Contracts took effect on January 1, 2024 and will continue in effect for a term ending on the earlier of 150 days from that date (the “150-day period”) or, if shareholders of the fund approve new investment management and sub-management contracts with respect to the fund, the effective date of the new contracts. If shareholders of the fund do not approve new investment management and sub-management contracts before the end of the 150-day period, the Board of Trustees will consider what further action to take consistent with its fiduciary duties to the fund.

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 underlying Putnam funds may invest in ETFs with a focus on companies or issuers that exhibit a commitment to ESG factors may result in the fund investing in certain types of companies or issuers that underperform the market as a whole. In evaluating an investment opportunity for the underlying funds, Putnam Management or PanAgora may 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. Due to changes in the products or services of the companies and issuers in which the underlying Putnam fund invests, the underlying Putnam fund may temporarily hold securities that are inconsistent with its ESG investment criteria. 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.
