Fund Description
Investments
The fund employs an asset allocation strategy designed for investors who are already in retirement or who plan to retire (or otherwise begin withdrawing the invested funds) in the near future. The fund is designed to provide diversification among different asset classes. The fund invests most of its assets in Putnam Multi-Asset Income Fund, another Putnam mutual fund, which invests mainly in fixed-income investments and, to a lesser extent, in equity securities. The fund invests the rest of its assets in Putnam Short Term Investment Fund, a Putnam mutual fund that invests mainly in short duration, investment-grade money market and other fixed income securities.
The following table presents your fund’s approximate allocations to each asset class (through its investments in underlying funds) as of December 31, 2023, which are not expected to change over time.
| Asset class | |
| Equity* | 25.4% |
| Fixed Income* | 74.6% |
| * | Equity and fixed income allocations are hypothetical estimates based on Putnam Multi-Asset Income Fund’s current strategic allocation to equity and fixed income investments as set forth under “What are the funds’ and each underlying fund’s main investment strategies and related risks?”, and an assumption that Putnam Short Term Investment Fund is equivalent to a fixed income investment. The managers of Putnam Multi-Asset Income Fund may adjust the fund’s allocations among asset classes from time to time consistent with its investment goals, and, consequently, actual allocations will vary. |
The fund’s target allocations may differ from the allocations shown in the table. We may change the fund’s target allocations, and the underlying fund(s) in which it invests, at any time, although we expect these changes to be infrequent and generally in response to longer-term structural changes (i.e., in the average retirement age or life expectancy) that lead the fund’s portfolio managers to determine that a change is advisable. We assume investors will make gradual withdrawals from the fund. The managers of Multi-Asset Income Fund will rebalance that fund’s investments towards its target allocations on a quarterly basis. More information about Multi-Asset Income Fund and Putnam Short Term Investment Fund is included under “What are the funds’ and each underlying fund’s main investment strategies and related risks?”.
