Putnam's family of mutual funds:

 

Growth Funds

 

Voyager Fund

 

The fund invests primarily in stocks of large and midsize companies across a range of industries. It targets companies with sales and profits that Putnam believes are likely to grow faster than the overall economy. For more than 30 years, this flagship Putnam fund has targeted growing companies for investors seeking capital appreciation.

 

Growth Opportunities Fund

 

The fund invests in large U.S. companies with strong revenue and earnings growth prospects. Members of the management team target established companies that are believed to be leaders in their industries with the potential to grow rapidly. The fund?s portfolio typically includes world-renowned businesses whose size and scale give them a competitive advantage.

 

New Opportunities Fund

 

The fund has a multi-cap strategy, seeking to invest in the highest quality large-cap companies as well as dynamic small- and mid-cap growth companies. The fund targets companies with strong management, superior financial characteristics and strong prospects for long-term growth.

 

Vista Fund

 

The fund targets midsize companies across a range of industries. It seeks to invest in companies that are relatively well-established but continue to offer rapid growth potential. In addition to growth potential, the mid-cap stocks in the fund's portfolio may offer a greater degree of stability than those of smaller, less mature companies.

 

Discovery Growth Fund

 

The fund invests in companies of all sizes across a range of industries. The management team targets stocks with exceptionally strong growth potential.

 

International New Opportunities Fund

 

The fund invests mainly in companies outside the United States experiencing rapid earnings, sales, and business unit growth, and with the potential for positive earnings surprises. The fund invests primarily in large and midsize growth companies with superior competitive positions within their industries.

 

Small Cap Growth Fund

 

The fund seeks capital appreciation by investing mainly in small companies believed to have the potential for exceptionally strong growth. The fund targets stocks across a range of industry sectors and seeks companies with innovative products and services, sound business models, and strong management teams.

 

OTC & Emerging Growth Fund

 

The fund targets small and midsize companies believed to have exceptionally strong growth potential. Its portfolio may include stocks that are traded in the over-the-counter market (OTC) and stocks of emerging-growth companies listed on securities exchanges. The fund's focus on rapidly growing small and midsize companies makes it Putnam's most aggressive growth product.
