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 Putnam Global Equity Fund (the Fund), as of and
for the year ended October 31, 2018, 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 NCEN,
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 (GAAP). 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 GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and trustees 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
operations, including controls over safeguarding securities that
we consider to be a material weakness defined above as of
October 31, 2018.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Trustees of 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.
