PINVX Putnam Investors Fund Class A Shares (MM)

As part of its evolving strategy to utilize leading technology and Internet capabilities to further help financial advisors and their clients achieve their financial goals, Putnam Investments today officially launched a powerful new web site dedicated to providing advisors with a dynamic, personalized experience. Among its many innovative features, the web site, at www.putnam.com/advisor, allows for advanced, open-architecture portfolio modeling, to assist them in their work with clients.

In addition to introducing a series of technology-enabled and social media-driven practice management elements, the new Putnam advisor site builds upon its well-received analytical tool, FundVisualizer, which can now model entire investment portfolios from a universe of over 11,000 mutual funds and ETFs, as well as continue to provide head-to-head product comparisons.

“Our new financial advisor web site is designed to provide a superior experience for advisors, allowing them to even more effectively guide their clients in achieving their financial goals,” said Bill Connolly, Head of Global Distribution, Putnam Investments. “We want to provide advisors with an intuitive, yet highly sophisticated set of customized resources that dynamically integrates and presents data, analysis, and thought leadership. Our goal is to be a must-stop destination for the advisor community.”

Connolly indicated that advisors will now have access to the next version of Putnam FundVisualizer, allowing them to choose and package a virtually unlimited number of potential fund holdings, assign specific weightings and adjust time periods as desired, to gain insight into the performance behavior and importance of risk-return trade-offs of uniquely constructed portfolios and their underlying components. Additionally, advisors can compare separately created portfolios of their own design. The portfolios can utilize Putnam or non-Putnam product solutions.

Conversations, Feedback and Peer Observations,

Along with portfolio modeling capabilities, the new Putnam resource will easily allow the advisor community to join conversations on Putnam’s social media sites, including those on Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/putnamtoday) and Facebook, (http://www.facebook.com/PutnamInvestments). A feedback component will also be available: advisors visiting the site will be able to rate much of its content, such as portfolio manager commentary. Also, the new web site will provide advisors with a sense of what their peers are viewing most on the site, including what investment issues and client-related topics are of most interest – displayed through a visual “tag cloud.”

The Putnam site will also provide advisors with an array of practice management and thought leadership resources to help in their day-to-day and long-term planning work with clients. Advisors will be able to:

• Explore an extensive Client Planning section, with detailed guidance for advisors working with clients who are saving for retirement, college and other life goals -- including presentations and seminars that advisors can download and use with their own clients;
• Access a content-rich “Our Perspectives” section, featuring articles and videos by Putnam strategists and portfolio managers discussing their investment outlook, providing timely insights on events that are shaping the global markets and discussing investment and savings strategies;
• Receive access to a wealth of fund data that allows them to gain a deeper product understanding, in a format that can be communicated directly to their clients;
• Review a Fund Playbook to see how any given fund can help clients pursue their goals, such as reducing the volatility in their portfolios or addressing the impact of rising interest rates on various mixes of funds;
• Use the new “My Putnam” feature to store their favorite content and set alerts for automatically e-mailed updates; and,
• Chat live with a personal support team at Putnam dedicated to their practice, to further identify customized solutions and more deeply explore business-building resources, practice management tools and continuing education courses.

“One of our chief objectives at every turn is to offer significant value to financial advisors, in the form of performance, product, service and best thinking,” explained Connolly. “In many ways, this new, innovative web site, dedicated to enhancing what advisors can bring to their client relationships, is a packaging of many of the best elements that Putnam has to offer to the marketplace.”
