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.
