Effective October 2, 2006, all references to short-term trading fees in the funds’ prospectuses are revised to reflect the fees described above, which replace the 2.0% and, if applicable, 1.0% short-term trading fees described in the prospectus. The short-term trading fee is subject to exceptions described in the prospectus.

Change to currency valuation time

Effective October 2, 2006, the Putnam funds will translate prices for its investments quoted in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at exchange rates that are generally determined as of 3:00 p.m. Eastern time each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, rather than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time.

Change to class C purchase limit

For all funds that offer class C shares other than tax exempt funds, the fifth bulletpoint under the heading “What class of shares is best for me?” is revised to reflect that the $1,000,000 purchase limit on class C shares does not apply to class C shares sold to qualified employee benefit plans.
