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.
