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 74K

On September 26, 2008, the fund entered into Agreements with
other registered investment companies (each a Purchaser) managed
by Putnam Management. Under the Agreements, the fund sold to the
Purchasers the funds right to receive, in the aggregate,
$3,469,039 in net payments from Lehman Brothers Special
Financing, Inc. in connection with certain terminated derivatives
transactions (the Receivable), in each case in exchange for an
initial payment plus (or minus) additional amounts based on the
applicable Purchasers ultimate realized gain (or loss) on the
Receivable. The Receivable will be offset against the funds net
receivable from Lehman Brothers Special Financing, Inc. which is
included in the Statement of assets and liabilities within
Receivable for closed forward currency contracts. The Agreements,
which are included in the Statement of assets and liabilities,
are valued at fair value following procedures approved by the
Trustees. All remaining payments under the agreement will be
recorded as realized gain or loss.
