Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Putnam Global Equity Fund:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of the Putnam Global Equity Fund (the Fund) as of and for the
year ended October 31, 2011, in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
we considered the Funds internal control over financial
reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a
basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply
with the requirements of Form N-SAR, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion.
Management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting.
In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits and
related costs of controls. A companys internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
companys internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys
assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists
when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on
a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of a Funds annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the Funds internal control over financial
reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in
internal control that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the
Funds internal control over financial reporting and its
operation, including controls over safeguarding securities that
we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of
October 31, 2011.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Trustees of the Putnam Global Equity
Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.

Item 61
Additional Information About Minimum Required Investment
Shareholders can open a fund account with as little as $500 and
make subsequent investments in any amount. The minimum investment
is waived if you make regular investments weekly, semi monthly,
or monthly through automatic deductions through your bank
checking or savings account. Currently, Putnam is waiving the
minimum, but reserves the right to reject initial investments
under the minimum.
Item 85B
Additional Information About Errors and Omissions Policy
While no claims with respect to the Registrant/Series were filed
under such policy during the period, requests under such policy
for reimbursement of legal expenses and costs arising out of
claims of market timing activity in the Putnam Funds have been
submitted by the investment manager of the Registrant/Series.

In late 2003 and 2004, Putnam Management settled charges brought
by the SEC and the Massachusetts Securities
Division in connection with excessive short-term trading in
Putnam funds. In July 2011, the fund recorded a receivable
of $1,468,543 related to restitution amounts in connection with
a distribution plan approved by the SEC.
These allegations and related matters have served as the general
basis for certain lawsuits, including
purported class action lawsuits against Putnam Management and,
in a limited number of cases, some Putnam
funds. In May 2011, the fund received a payment of $32,064
related to settlement of those lawsuits. Putnam Management has
agreed to bear any costs incurred by the Putnam funds as a
result of these matters.
