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.

Putnam Global Utilities Fund, as of February 29, 2012, semi
annual shareholder report
77e Regulatory matters and litigation
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 $137,714 related to
restitution amounts in connection with a distribution plan
approved by the SEC. This amount was received by the fund in
December 2011. 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 $3,418 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.
