1.
Organization
and
Significant
Accounting
Policies
Putnam
Funds
Trust (Trust)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(1940
Act)
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company,
consisting
of fourteen
separate
funds.
The
Trust
follows
the
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(FASB)
Accounting
Standards
Codification
Topic
946,
Financial
Services
–
Investment
Companies
(ASC
946)
and applies
the
specialized
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
U.S.
Generally
Accepted
Accounting
Principles
(U.S.
GAAP),
including,
but
not
limited
to,
ASC
946.
Putnam
Floating
Rate
Income
Fund
(Fund) is
included
in
this
report.
The
Fund
offers five
classes
of
shares:
Class
A,
Class
C,
Class
R,
Class
R6
and
Class
Y. Class
C
shares
automatically
convert
to
Class
A
shares
on
a
monthly
basis,
after
they
have
been
held
for
8
years.
Each
class
of
shares
may
differ
by
its
initial
sales
load,
contingent
deferred
sales
charges,
voting
rights
on
matters
affecting
a
single
class,
its
exchange
privilege
and
fees
due
to
differing
arrangements
for
distribution
and
transfer
agent
fees.
The
following
summarizes
the
Fund
's
significant
accounting
policies.
a.
Financial
Instrument
Valuation
The
Fund's
investments
in
financial
instruments
are
carried
at
fair
value
daily.
Fair
value
is
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
on
the
measurement
date.
The
Fund
calculates
the
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
each business
day as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
or
the
regularly
scheduled
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
whichever
is
earlier.
Under
compliance
policies
and
procedures
approved
by
the Trust's
Board
of
Trustees
(the
Board),
the
Board
has
designated
the
Fund’s
investment
manager
as
the
valuation
designee
and
has
responsibility
for
oversight
of
valuation.
The
investment
manager
is
assisted
by
the
Fund’s
administrator
in
performing
this
responsibility,
including
leading
the
cross-
functional
Valuation
Committee
(VC).
The
Fund
may
utilize
independent
pricing
services,
quotations
from
securities
and
financial
instrument
dealers,
and
other
market
sources
to
determine
fair
value.
Debt
securities
generally
trade
in
the over-the-counter
(OTC)
market
rather
than
on
a
securities
exchange.
The
Fund's
pricing
services
use
multiple
valuation
techniques
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
exists,
the
pricing
services
may
utilize
a
market-based
approach
through
which
quotes
from
market
makers
are
used
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
may
not
exist
or
is
limited,
the
pricing
services
also
utilize
proprietary
valuation
models
which
may
consider
market
characteristics
such
as
benchmark
yield
curves,
credit
spreads,
estimated
default
rates,
anticipated
market
interest
rate
volatility,
coupon
rates,
anticipated
timing
of
principal
repayments,
underlying
collateral,
and
other
unique
security
features
in
order
to
estimate
the
relevant
cash
flows,
which
are
then
discounted
to
calculate
the
fair
value.
Investments
in open-end mutual
funds
are
valued
at
the
closing
NAV.
Certain
derivative
financial
instruments
are
centrally
cleared
or
trade
in
the
OTC
market.
The
Fund's
pricing
services
use
various
techniques
including
industry
standard
option
pricing
models
and
proprietary
discounted
cash
flow
models
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
those
instruments.
The
Fund's
net
benefit
or
obligation
under
the
derivative
contract,
as
measured
by
the
fair
value
of
the
contract,
is
included
in
net
assets.
The
Fund
has
procedures
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments
for
which
market
prices
are
not
reliable
or
readily
available.
Under
these
procedures,
the Fund
primarily
employs
a
market-based
approach
which
may
use
related
or
comparable
assets
or
liabilities,
recent
transactions,
market
multiples,
and
other
relevant
information
for
the
investment
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
the
investment.
An
income-based
valuation
approach
may
also
be
used
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
to
calculate
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
due
to
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of
the
investments.
Due
to
the
inherent
uncertainty
of
valuations
of
such
investments,
the
fair
values
may
differ
significantly
from
the
values
that
would
have
been
used
had
an
active
market
existed.
b.
Securities
Purchased
on
a
When-Issued,
Forward
Commitment or
Delayed
Delivery
Basis
The
Fund
may
purchase
securities
on
a when-issued,
forward
commitment
or
delayed
delivery basis,
with
payment
and
delivery
scheduled
for
a
future
date.
These
transactions
are
subject
to
market
fluctuations
and
are
subject
to
the
risk
that
the
value
at
delivery
may
be
more
or
less
than
the
trade
date
purchase
price.

purchase
these
securities
with
the
intention
of
holding
the
securities, it
may
sell
the
securities
before
the
settlement
date.
c.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund invested
in
derivative
financial
instruments
in
order
to
manage
risk
or
gain
exposure
to
various
other
investments
or
markets.
Derivatives
are
financial
contracts
based
on
an
underlying
or
notional
amount,
require
no
initial
investment
or
an
initial
net
investment
that
is
smaller
than
would
normally
be
required
to
have
a
similar
response
to
changes
in
market
factors,
and
require
or
permit
net
settlement.
Derivatives
contain
various
risks
including
the
potential
inability
of
the
counterparty
to
fulfill
their
obligations
under
the
terms
of
the
contract,
the
potential
for
an
illiquid
secondary
market,
and/or
the
potential
for
market
movements
which
expose
the
Fund
to
gains
or
losses
in
excess
of
the
amounts
shown
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Realized
gain
and
loss
and
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
on
these
contracts
for
the
period
are
included
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Collateral
requirements
differ
by
type
of
derivative.
Collateral
or
initial
margin
requirements
are
set
by
the
broker
or
exchange
clearing
house
for
exchange
traded
and
centrally
cleared
derivatives.
Initial
margin
deposited
is
held
at
the
exchange
or
at
the
broker
and
can
be
in
the
form
of
cash
and/or
securities.
The
Fund
entered
into
credit
default
swap
contracts
primarily
to
manage
and/or
gain
exposure
to
credit
risk.
A
credit
default
swap
is
an
agreement
between
the
Fund
and
a
counterparty
whereby
the
buyer
of
the
contract
receives
credit
protection
and
the
seller
of
the
contract
guarantees
the
credit
worthiness
of
a
referenced
debt
obligation.
These
agreements
may
be
privately
negotiated
in
the
over-the-
counter
market
(OTC
credit
default
swaps)
or
may
be
executed
in
a
multilateral
trade
facility
platform,
such
as
a
registered
exchange
(centrally
cleared
credit
default
swaps).
The
underlying
referenced
debt
obligation
may
be
a
single
issuer
of
corporate
or
sovereign
debt,
a
credit
index,
a
basket
of
issuers
or
indices,
or
a
tranche
of
a
credit
index
or
basket
of
issuers
or
indices.
In
the
event
of
a
default
of
the
underlying
referenced
debt
obligation,
the
buyer
is
entitled
to
receive
the
notional
amount
of
the
credit
default
swap
contract
from
the
seller
in
exchange
for
the
referenced
debt
obligation,
a
net
settlement
amount
equal
to
the
notional
amount
of
the
credit
default
swap
less
the
recovery
value
of
the
referenced
debt
obligation,
or
other
agreed
upon
amount.
For
centrally
cleared
credit
default
swaps,
required
initial
margins
are
pledged
by
the
Fund,
and
the
daily
change
in
fair
value
is
accounted
for
as
a
variation
margin
payable
or
receivable
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Over
the
term
of
the
contract,
the
buyer
pays
the
seller
a
periodic
stream
of
payments,
provided
that
no
event
of
default
has
occurred.
Such
periodic
payments
are
accrued
daily
as
an
unrealized
appreciation or
depreciation
until
the
payments
are
made,
at
which
time
they
are
realized.
Upfront
payments
and
receipts
are
reflected
in
the Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
represent
compensating
factors
between
stated
terms
of
the
credit
default
swap
agreement
and
prevailing
market
conditions
(credit
spreads
and
other
relevant
factors).
These
upfront
payments
and
receipts
are
amortized
over
the
term
of
the
contract
as
a
realized
gain
or
loss
in
the Statement
of
Operations.
Credit
default
swap
contracts
outstanding
at
period
end,
if
any,
are
listed
in
the
Fund's
Schedule
of
Investments.
See
Note
9
regarding
other
derivative
information.
d.
Senior
Floating
Rate
Interests
The
Fund
invests
in
senior
secured
corporate
loans
that
pay
interest
at
rates
which
are
periodically
reset
by
reference
to
a
base
lending
rate
plus
a
spread.
These
base
lending
rates
are
generally
the
prime
rate
offered
by
a
designated
U.S.
bank
or
the
Secured
Overnight
Financing
Rate
(SOFR).
Senior
secured
corporate
loans
often
require
prepayment
of
principal
from
excess
cash
flows
or
at
the
discretion
of
the
borrower.
As
a
result,
actual
maturity
may
be
substantially
less
than
the
stated
maturity.
Senior
secured
corporate
loans
in
which
the Fund
invests
are
generally
readily
marketable,
but
may
be
subject
to
certain
restrictions
on
resale.
e.
Income
Taxes
It
is the Fund's
policy
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
the
Internal
Revenue
Code. The Fund
intends
to
distribute
to
shareholders
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
and
net
realized
gains
to
relieve
it
from
federal
income
and
excise
taxes.
As
a
result,
no
provision
for
U.S.
federal
income
taxes
is
required.

Income
Fund
(continued)
The Fund
may
recognize
an
income
tax
liability
related
to
its
uncertain
tax
positions
under
U.S.
GAAP
when
the
uncertain
tax
position
has
a
less
than
50%
probability
that
it
will
be
sustained
upon
examination
by
the
tax
authorities
based
on
its
technical
merits.
As
of
August
31,
2026, the Fund
has
determined
that
no
tax
liability
is
required
in
its
financial
statements
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
for
any
open
tax
years
(or
expected
to
be
taken
in
future
tax
years).
The
Fund's federal
and
state
income
and
federal
excise
tax
returns
for
the
prior
three
fiscal
years
are
subject
to
examination
by
the
Internal
Revenue
Service
and
state
departments
of
revenue.
f.
Security
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
Expenses
and
Distributions
Security
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
trade
date.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
security
transactions
are
determined
on
a
specific
identification
basis.
Interest
income
(including
interest
income
from
payment-in-kind
securities,
if
any)
and
estimated
expenses
are
accrued
daily.
Amortization
of
premium
and
accretion
of
discount
on
debt
securities
are
included
in
interest
income.
Paydown
gains
and
losses
are
recorded
as
an
adjustment
to
interest
income. The
Fund
may
receive
other
income
from
investments
in
senior
secured
corporate
loans
or
unfunded
commitments,
including
amendment
fees,
consent
fees
or
commitment
fees.
These
fees
are
recorded
as
income
when
received
by
the
Fund.
Dividends from
net
investment
income
are
normally
declared
daily;
these
dividends
may
be
reinvested
or
paid
monthly
to
shareholders.
Distributions
from realized
capital
gains
and
other
distributions,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributable
earnings
are
determined
according
to
income
tax
regulations
(tax
basis)
and
may
differ
from
earnings
recorded
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
These
differences
may
be
permanent
or
temporary.
Permanent
differences
are
reclassified
among
capital
accounts
to
reflect
their
tax
character.
These
reclassifications
have
no
impact
on
net
assets
or
the
results
of
operations.
Temporary
differences
are
not
reclassified,
as
they
may
reverse
in
subsequent
periods.
Common
expenses
incurred
by
the
Trust
are
allocated
among
the
Funds
based
on
the
ratio
of
net
assets
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
net
assets
of
the
Trust
or
based
on
the
ratio
of
number
of
shareholders
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
number
of
shareholders
of
the
Trust.
Fund
specific
expenses
are
charged
directly
to
the
Fund
that
incurred
the
expense.
Realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
and
net
investment
income,
excluding
class
specific
expenses,
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
of
shares
based
upon
the
relative
proportion
of
net
assets
of
each
class.
Differences
in
per
share
distributions
by
class
are
generally
due
to
differences
in
class
specific
expenses.
g.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
amounts
of
income
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
h.
Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
Under
the Trust's
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and trustees
are
indemnified
by
the Trust against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Trust.
Additionally,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund, enters
into
contracts
with
service
providers
that
contain
general
indemnification
clauses.
The Trust's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the Trust
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
Currently,
the Trust
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

Credit
Risk
At

and
unrated

These
securities
may
be
more
sensitive
to
economic
conditions
causing
greater

volatility
and

Credit
Facility
The
Fund,
together
with
other
U.S.
registered
and
foreign
investment
funds
(collectively,
Borrowers),
managed
by
Franklin
Templeton,
are
borrowers
in
a
joint
syndicated
senior
unsecured
credit
facility
totaling
$2.995
billion
(Global
Credit
Facility)
which
matures
on
January
29,
2027.
This
Global
Credit
Facility
provides
a
source
of
funds
to
the
Borrowers
for
temporary
and
emergency
purposes,
including
the
ability
to
meet
future
unanticipated
or
unusually
large
redemption
requests.
Under
the
terms
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
the
Fund
may,
in
addition
to
interest
charged
on
any
borrowings
made
by
the
Fund
and
other
costs
incurred
by
the
Fund,
pay
its
share
of
fees
and
expenses
incurred
in
connection
with
the
implementation
and
maintenance
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
based
upon
its
relative
share
of
the
aggregate
net
assets
of
all
of
the
Borrowers,
including
an
annual
commitment
fee
of
0.15%
based
upon
the
unused
portion
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility.
These
fees
are
reflected
in
other
expenses
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
During
the
period
ended
August
31,
2026,
the Fund
did
not
use
the
Global
Credit
Facility.

Fair
Value
Measurements
The
Fund
follows
a
fair
value
hierarchy
that
distinguishes
between
market
data
obtained
from
independent
sources
(observable
inputs)
and
the Fund's
own
market
assumptions
(unobservable
inputs).
These
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the
Fund's financial
instruments
and
are
summarized
in
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy:
Level
1
–
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
Level
2
–
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speed,
credit
risk,
etc.)
Level
3
–
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the
Fund's
own
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments)
The
input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level.
A
summary
of
inputs
used
as
of
August
31,
2026,
in
valuing
the
Fund's assets carried
at
fair
value,
is
as
follows:

Consideration
of
your
fund’s
management
and
sub-advisory
contracts
At
their
meeting
on
June
26,
2026,
the
Board
of
Trustees
(“Board”
or
the
“Trustees”)
of
your
fund,
including
all
of
the
Trustees
who
are
not
“interested
persons”
(as
this
term
is
defined
in
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
"1940
Act”))
of
the
Putnam
mutual
funds
and
exchange-traded
funds
(collectively,
the
“funds”)
(the
“Independent
Trustees”),
approved
the
continuance
of
a
management
contract
with
Franklin
Advisers,
Inc.
(the
“Advisor”),
a
subadvisory
agreement
between
the
Advisor
and
Franklin
Templeton
Investment
Management
Limited
(“FTIML”),
and
a
subadvisory
agreement
between
the
Advisor
and
Putnam
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“Putnam
Management”
and
together
with
FTIML,
the
“Subadvisors”)
(collectively,
the
“Management
Contracts”).
The
Advisor,
FTIML,
and
Putnam
Management
are
each
direct
or
indirect,
wholly-
owned
subsidiaries
of
Franklin
Templeton,
Inc.
(together
with
its
subsidiaries,
“Franklin
Templeton”).
General
conclusions
The
Board
oversees
the
management
of
each
fund
and,
as
required
by
law,
determines
annually
whether
to
approve
the
continuance
of
your
fund’s
management
contract
with
the
Advisor
and
the
sub-advisory
contract
with
respect
to
your
fund
between
the
Advisor
and
each
Subadvisor.
Because
the
Subadvisors
are
affiliates
of
the
Advisor
and
the
Advisor
remains
fully
responsible
for
all
services
provided
by
the
Subadvisors,
the
Trustees
did
not
attempt
to
evaluate
the
Subadvisors
as
separate
entities.
All
references
to
the
Advisor
in
the
descriptions
of
the
Board’s
considerations
should
be
deemed
to
include
references
to
the
applicable
Subadvisor
as
necessary
or
appropriate
in
the
context.
The
Board,
with
the
assistance
of
its
Contract
Committee,
requests
and
evaluates
all
information
it
deems
reasonably
necessary
under
the
circumstances
in
connection
with
its
annual
contract
review.
The
Contract
Committee
consists
solely
of
Independent
Trustees.

Semiannual
Report
At
the
outset
of
the
review
process,
the
Board’s
independent
staff
and
independent
legal
counsel,
as
defined
in
Rule
0-1(a)
(6)
under
the
1940
Act
(their
“independent
legal
counsel”),
considered
any
possible
changes
to
the
annual
contract
review
materials
furnished
to
the
Contract
Committee
in
prior
years
and,
as
applicable,
identified
those
changes
to
the
Advisor.
Following
these
discussions
and
in
consultation
with
the
Contract
Committee,
the
Independent
Trustees’
independent
legal
counsel
submitted
an
initial
request
that
the
Advisor
and
its
affiliates
furnish
specified
information,
together
with
any
additional
information
the
Advisor
considered
relevant,
to
the
Contract
Committee.
Over
the
course
of
several
months
ending
in
June
2026,
the
Contract
Committee
met
on
a
number
of
occasions
with
representatives
of
the
Advisor,
and
separately
in
executive
session,
to
consider
the
information
that
the
Advisor
provided,
including
information
provided
in
response
to
supplemental
requests
submitted
by
independent
legal
counsel.
Throughout
this
process,
the
Contract
Committee
was
assisted
by
the
Board’s
independent
staff
and
by
independent
legal
counsel.
At
the
Board’s
June
2026
meeting,
the
Contract
Committee
met
in
executive
session
to
discuss
and
consider
its
recommendations
with
respect
to
the
continuance
of
the
Management
Contracts.
At
that
meeting,
the
Contract
Committee
also
met
in
executive
session
with
the
other
Independent
Trustees
to
review
a
summary
of
the
process
undertaken
by
the
Contract
Committee
and
key
information
that
the
Contract
Committee
considered
in
the
course
of
its
review.
The
Contract
Committee
then
presented
its
written
report,
which
summarized
the
key
factors
that
the
Committee
had
considered
and
set
forth
its
recommendations.
The
Contract
Committee
recommended,
and
the
Independent
Trustees
approved,
the
continuance
of
your
fund’s
Management
Contracts,
effective
July
1,
2026.
In
considering
the
continuance
of
the
Management
Contracts,
the
Board
took
into
account
a
number
of
factors,
including:
That
the
fee
schedule
in
effect
for
your
fund
represented
reasonable
compensation
in
light
of
the
nature
and
quality
of
the
services
being
provided
to
the
fund,
the
fees
paid
by
competitive
funds,
the
costs
incurred
by
the
Advisor
in
providing
services
to
the
fund
and
the
application
of
certain
reductions
and
waivers
noted
below;
That
the
fee
schedule
in
effect
for
your
fund
represented
an
appropriate
sharing
between
fund
shareholders
and
the
Advisor
of
any
economies
of
scale
that
may
exist
in
the
management
of
the
fund
at
current
asset
levels;
That
the
funds
benefited,
and
were
expected
to
continue
to
benefit,
from
Franklin
Templeton’s
large
retail
and
institutional
global
distribution
capabilities
and
significant
network
of
intermediary
relationships,
which
may
provide
additional
opportunities
for
the
funds
to
increase
assets
and
reduce
the

base;
and
The
financial
strength,
reputation,
experience
and
resources
of
Franklin
Templeton
and
its
investment
advisory
subsidiaries.
These
conclusions
were
based
on
a
comprehensive
consideration
of
all
information
provided
to
the
Trustees
and
were
not
the
result
of
any
single
factor.
Some
of
the
factors
that
figured
particularly
in
the
Trustees’
deliberations
and
how
the
Trustees
considered
these
factors
are
described
below,
although
individual
Trustees
may
have
evaluated
the
information
presented
differently,
giving
different
weights
to
various
factors.
It
is
also
important
to
recognize
that
the
management
arrangements
for
your
fund
and
most
of
the
other
funds
are
the
result
of
many
years
of
review
and
discussion
between
the
Independent
Trustees
and
management,
occurring
both
in
connection
with
formal
contract
reviews
as
well
as
throughout
the
year
and
that
the
Trustees’
conclusions
may
be
based,
in
part,
on
their
consideration
of
fee
arrangements
in
previous
years.
For
example,
with
certain
exceptions
primarily
involving
newer
funds
or
repositioned
funds,
the
current
fee
arrangements
under
the
majority
of
the
funds’
management
contracts
were
first
implemented
at
the
beginning
of
2010
following
extensive
review
by
the
Contract
Committee
and
discussions
with
management,
as
well
as
approval
by
shareholders.

Management
fee
schedules
and
total
expenses
The
Trustees
reviewed
the
management
fee
schedules
in
effect
for
all
funds,
including
fee
levels
and
any
breakpoints.
Under
its
management
contract,
your
fund
has
the
benefit
of
breakpoints
in
its
management
fee
schedule
that
provide
shareholders
with
reduced
fee
levels
as
aggregate
assets
under
management
of
the
fund
and
other
mutual
funds
sponsored
by
the
Advisor
(or
that
have
been
deemed
to
be
sponsored
by
the
Advisor
for
the
purpose
of
the
management
fee
calculation)
increase.
The
Trustees
also
reviewed
the
total
expenses
of
each
fund,
recognizing
that
in
most
cases
management
fees
represented
the
major,
but
not
the
sole,
determinant
of
total
costs
to
fund
shareholders.
(Two
mutual
funds
and
each
of
the
exchange-traded
funds
have
implemented
so-called
“all-in”
or
unitary
management
fees
covering
substantially
all
routine
fund
operating
costs.)
In
reviewing
fees
and
expenses,
the
Trustees
generally
focus
their
attention
on
material
changes
in
circumstances
—
for
example,
changes
in
assets
under
management,
changes
in
a
fund’s
investment
strategy,
changes
in
the
Advisor’s
operating
costs
or
profitability,
or
changes
in
competitive
practices
in
the
fund
industry
—
that
suggest
that
consideration
of
fee
changes
might
be
warranted.
The
Trustees
concluded
that
the
circumstances
did
not
indicate
that
changes
to
the
management
fee
schedule
for
your
fund
would
be
appropriate
at
this
time.
As
in
the
past,
the
Trustees
also
focused
on
the
competitiveness
of
each
fund’s
total
expense
ratio.
The
Trustees,
the
Advisor
and
the
funds’
investor
servicing
agent,
Putnam
Investor
Services,
Inc.
(“PSERV”),
have
implemented
expense
limitations
that
were
in
effect
during
your
fund’s
fiscal
year
ending
in
2025.
These
expense
limitations
were:
(i)
a
contractual
expense
limitation
applicable
to
specified
mutual
funds
(including
your
fund)
of
25
basis
points
on
investor
servicing
fees
and
expenses
and
(ii)
a
contractual
expense
limitation
applicable
to
specified
mutual
funds
(including
your
fund)
of
20
basis
points
on
so-called
“other
expenses”
(i.e.,
all
expenses
exclusive
of
management
fees,
distribution
fees,
investor
servicing
fees,
investment-related
expenses,
interest,
taxes,
brokerage
commissions,
acquired
fund
fees
and
expenses
and
extraordinary
expenses).
These
expense
limitations
attempt
to
maintain
competitive
expense
levels
for
the
funds.
Most
funds
(including
your
fund)
had
sufficiently
low
expenses
that
these
expense
limitations
were
not
operative
during
their
fiscal
years
ending
in
2025.
The
Advisor
and
PSERV
have
agreed
to
maintain
these
expense
limitations
until
at
least
June
30,
2028.
The
Advisor
and
PSERV’s
commitment
to
these
expense
limitation
arrangements,
which
were
intended
to
support
an
effort
to
have
the
mutual
fund
expenses
meet
competitive
standards,
was
an
important
factor
in
the
Trustees’
decision
to
approve
the
continuance
of
your
fund’s
Management
Contracts.
The
Trustees
reviewed
comparative
fee
and
expense
information
for
a
custom
group
of
competitive
funds
selected
by
Broadridge
Financial
Solutions,
Inc.
(“Broadridge”).
This
comparative
information
included
your
fund’s
percentile
ranking
for
effective
management
fees
and
total
expenses
(excluding
any
applicable
12b-1
fees),
which
provides
a
general
indication
of
your
fund’s
relative
standing.
In
the
custom
peer
group,
your
fund
ranked
in
the
first
quintile
in
effective
management
fees
(determined
for
your
fund
and
the
other
funds
in
the
custom
peer
group
assuming
the
same
fund
asset
size
for
your
fund
and
the
other
funds
in
the
custom
peer
group
and
the
applicable
contractual
management
fee
schedule)
and
in
the
third
quintile
in
total
expenses
(excluding
any
applicable
12b-1
fees)
as
of
December
31,
2025.
(Total
expenses
reflect
the
fees
and
expenses
borne
directly
by
the
fund
and
the
competitive
funds
included
in
the
custom
Lipper
peer
groups,
as
well
as
any
underlying
funds’
net
fees
and
expenses.)
The
first
quintile
represents
the
least
expensive
funds
and
the
fifth
quintile
the
most
expensive
funds.
The
fee
and
expense
data
reported
by
Broadridge
as
of
December
31,
2025
reflected
the
most
recent
fiscal
year-end
data
available
in
Broadridge’s
database
at
that
time.
In
connection
with
their
review
of
fund
management
fees
and
total
expenses,
the
Trustees
also
reviewed
the
costs
of
the
services
provided
and
the
profits
realized
by
the
Advisor
and
its
affiliates
from
their
contractual
relationships
with
the
funds.
This
information
included
trends
in
revenues,
expenses
and
profitability
of
the
Advisor
and
its
affiliates
relating
to
the
investment
management,
investor
servicing
and
distribution
services
provided
to
the
funds,
as
applicable.
In
this
regard,
the
Trustees
also
reviewed
an
analysis
of
the
revenues,
expenses
and
profitability
of
the
Advisor
and
its
affiliates,
allocated
on
a
fund-by-fund
basis,
with
respect
to
(as
applicable)
the
funds’
management,
distribution
and
investor
servicing
contracts.
For
each
fund,
the
analysis
presented
information
about
revenues,
expenses
and
profitability
in
2025
for
each
of
the
applicable
Putnam
Funds
Trust
38
franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
agreements
separately
and
for
the
agreements
taken
together
on
a
combined
basis.
The
Trustees
concluded
that,
at
current
asset
levels,
the
fee
schedules
in
place
for
each
of
the
funds,
including
the
fee
schedule
for
your
fund,
represented
reasonable
compensation
for
the
services
being
provided
and
represented
an
appropriate
sharing
between
fund
shareholders
and
the
Advisor
of
any
economies
of
scale
as
may
exist
in
the
management
of
the
funds
at
that
time.
The
information
examined
by
the
Trustees
in
connection
with
their
annual
contract
review
for
the
funds
included
information
regarding
services
provided
and
fees
charged
by
the
Advisor
and
certain
affiliates
to
other
products
that
are
managed
by
a
portfolio
team
that
also
manages
one
or
more
U.S.
registered
mutual
funds
in
a
category
of
similar
strategies
offered
by
the
funds
(including
exchange
traded
funds,
sub-advised
U.S.
mutual
funds,
other
U.S.
products
(such
as
collective
investment
trusts,
private
funds,
and
separately
managed
and
institutional
accounts),
non-U.S.
funds,
and
other
non-U.S.
products).
This
information
included
comparisons
of
the
fees
charged
to
other
clients,
by
category,
with
fees
charged
to
the
funds,
as
well
as
a
detailed
assessment
of
the
differences
in
the
services
provided
to
these
clients
as
compared
to
the
services
provided
to
the
funds.
The
Trustees
observed
that
the
differences
in
fee
rates
between
these
clients
and
the
funds
are
by
no
means
uniform
when
examined
by
individual
asset
classes,
suggesting
that
differences
in
the
pricing
of
investment
management
services
to
these
types
of
clients
may
reflect,
among
other
things,
historical
competitive
forces
operating
in
separate
marketplaces,
the
characteristics
of
different
clients,
the
particulars
of
different
fee
structures,
factors
unique
to
specific
market
segments,
and
the
distinct
risks
and
costs
associated
with
providing
services
to
different
clients.
The
Trustees
considered
the
fact
that
in
many
cases
fee
rates
across
different
asset
classes
are
higher
on
average
for
1940
Act-registered
funds
than
for
other
clients,
and
the
Trustees
also
considered
the
differences
between
the
services
that
the
Advisor
provides
to
the
funds
and
those
that
it
provides
to
its
other
clients.
The
Trustees
did
not
rely
on
these
fee
comparisons
to
any
significant
extent
in
concluding
that
the
management
fees
paid
by
your
fund
are
reasonable.
Investment
performance
The
quality
of
the
investment
process
provided
by
the
Advisor
represented
a
major
factor
in
the
Trustees’
evaluation
of
the
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
Advisor
under
your
fund’s
Management
Contracts.
The
Trustees
were
assisted
in
their
review
of
the
Advisor’s
investment
process
and
performance
by
the
work
of
the
investment
oversight
committees
of
the
Trustees
and
the
full
Board,
which
meet
on
a
regular
basis
with
individual
portfolio
managers
and
with
investment
leadership
of
the
Advisor
throughout
the
year.
The
Trustees
noted
that
the
Advisor
had
made
portfolio
management
assignment
changes
in
2025
to
strengthen
its
investment
teams
providing
services
to
the
funds.
The
Trustees
concluded
that
the
Advisor
generally
provides
a
high-quality
investment
process
—
as
measured
by
the
experience
and
skills
of
the
individuals
assigned
to
the
management
of
fund
portfolios,
the
resources
made
available
to
them
and
in
general
the
Advisor’s
ability
to
attract
and
retain
high-quality
personnel
—
but
also
recognized
that
this
does
not
guarantee
favorable
investment
results
for
every
fund
in
every
time
period.
The
Trustees
considered
that,
in
the
aggregate,
peer-relative
and
benchmark-relative
fund
performance
was
strong
in
2025
against
what
the
Advisor
characterized
as
a
complex
investing
environment.
The
Trustees
considered
the
Advisor’s
discussion
of
the
markets,
the
economy,
and
geopolitical
conditions
in
2025.
The
S&P
500
was
up
18%
in
2025
but
with
significant
periods
of
volatility,
and
the
Bloomberg
Aggregate
fixed
income
index
was
up
7%
during
the
year,
with
the
Federal
Reserve
cutting
the
Effective
Federal
Funds
rate
from
4.25%
at
year-end
2024
to
3.5%
at
year-end
2025.
Ten-year
Treasury
yields
ended
2025
at
4.2%,
down
from
4.6%
at
year-end
2024.
In
2025,
geopolitical
and
economic
conditions,
as
well
as
financial
markets,
provided
a
complex
investing
environment:
a
new
U.S.
presidential
administration
with
significant
policy
actions,
including
tariffs;
complex
inflation;
rates
and
Federal
Reserve
developments;
artificial
intelligence-related
impacts;
and
political
and
military
actions
across
the
globe.
Even
with
this
backdrop,
generally
strong
economic,
corporate
and
labor
market
conditions
continued
in
2025,
although
with
some
signs
of
concern.
For
the
one-year
period
ended
December
31,
2025,
the
Trustees
noted
that
the
funds,
on
an
asset-weighted
basis,
ranked
in
the
37
th
percentile
of
their
peers
as
determined
by
LSEG
Lipper
(“Lipper”)
and,
on
an
asset-weighted
basis,
outperformed
their
benchmarks
by
1.6%
gross
of
fees
over
the
one-year
period.
The
Contract
Committee
also
noted
that
the
funds’
aggregate
performance
over
longer-term
periods
continued
to
be
strong,
with
the
funds,
on
an
asset-weighted
basis,
ranking
in
the
26
th
,
22
nd
and
16
th
percentiles
of
their
Lipper
peers
over
the
three-year,
five-year
and
ten-year
periods
ended
December
31,
2025,
respectively.
The
Trustees
further
noted
that
the
funds,
in
the
aggregate,
solidly
outperformed
their
benchmarks
on
a
gross
Putnam
Funds
Trust

Semiannual

basis
for
each
of
the
three-year,
five-year
and
ten-year
periods.
The
Trustees
also
considered
the
Morningstar
Inc.
ratings
assigned
to
the
funds
and
that
41
funds
were
rated
four
or
five
stars
at
the
end
of
2025,
which
was
a
year-over-year
decrease
of
11
funds.
The
Trustees
also
considered
that
18
funds
were
five-star
rated
at
the
end
of
2025,
which
was
a
year-over-year
decrease
of
seven
funds.
The
Board
noted,
however,
the
disappointing
investment
performance
of
some
funds
for
periods
ended
December
31,
2025
and
considered
information
provided
by
the
Advisor
regarding
the
factors
contributing
to
the
underperformance
and,
where
relevant,
actions
being
taken
to
improve
the
performance
of
these
particular
funds.
The
Trustees
indicated
their
intention
to
continue
to
monitor
the
performance
of
those
funds.
For
purposes
of
the
Trustees’
evaluation
of
the
funds’
investment
performance,
the
Trustees
generally
focus
on
a
competitive
industry
ranking
of
each
fund’s
total
net
return
over
a
one-year,
three-year
and
five-year
period.
For
a
number
of
funds
with
relatively
unique
investment
mandates
for
which
the
Advisor
informed
the
Trustees
that
meaningful
competitive
performance
rankings
are
not
considered
to
be
available,
the
Trustees
evaluated
performance
based
on
their
total
gross
and
net
returns
and
comparisons
of
those
returns
to
the
returns
of
selected
investment
benchmarks.
In
the
case
of
your
fund,
the
Trustees
considered
that
its
class
A
share
cumulative
total
return
performance
at
net
asset
value
was
in
the
following
quartiles
of
its
Lipper
peer
group
(Lipper
Loan
Participation
Funds)
for
the
one-year,
three-year
and
five-year
periods
ended
December
31,
2025
(the
first
quartile
representing
the
best-performing
funds
and
the
fourth
quartile
the
worst-performing
funds):
Over
the
one-year,
three-year
and
five-year
periods
ended
December
31,
2025,
there
were
234,
214
and
200
funds,
respectively,
in
your
fund’s
Lipper
peer
group.
(When
considering
performance
information,
shareholders
should
be
mindful
that
past
performance
is
not
a
guarantee
of
future
results.)
Brokerage
and
soft-dollar
allocations;
distribution
and
investor
servicing
The
Trustees
considered
various
potential
benefits
that
the
Advisor
may
receive
in
connection
with
the
services
it
provides
under
the
management
contract
with
your
fund.
These
include
benefits
related
to
brokerage
allocation
and
the
use
of
soft
dollars,
whereby
a
portion
of
the
commissions
paid
by
a
fund
for
brokerage
may
be
used
to
acquire
research
services
that
are
expected
to
be
useful
to
the
Advisor
in
managing
the
assets
of
the
fund
and
of
other
clients.
Subject
to
policies
approved
by
the
Trustees,
soft
dollars
generated
by
these
means
may
be
used
to
acquire
brokerage
and
research
services
(including
proprietary
executing
broker
research,
third-party
research
and
market
data)
that
enhance
the
Advisor’s
investment
capabilities
and
supplement
the
Advisor’s
internal
research
efforts.
The
Trustees
indicated
their
continued
intent
to
monitor
regulatory
and
industry
developments
in
this
area
with
the
assistance
of
their
Contract
Committee.
In
addition,
with
the
assistance
of
their
Contract
Committee,
the
Trustees
indicated
their
continued
intent
to
monitor
the
allocation
of
the
funds’
brokerage
in
order
to
ensure
that
the
principle
of
seeking
best
price
and
execution
remains
paramount
in
the
portfolio
trading
process.
Your
fund
is
not
expected
to
generate
a
significant
amount
of
soft-dollar
credits.
The
Advisor
may
also
receive
benefits
from
payments
that
funds
make
to
the
Advisor
for
distribution
services
and
investor
services.
In
conjunction
with
the
review
of
your
fund’s
Management
Contracts,
the
Trustees
reviewed
your
fund’s
investor
servicing
agreement
with
PSERV
and
its
distributor’s
contract
and
distribution
plans
with
Franklin
Distributors,
LLC
(“Franklin
Distributors”),
both
of
which
are
affiliates
of
the
Advisor.
The
Trustees
concluded
that
the
fees
payable
by
the
mutual
funds
to
PSERV
and
Franklin
Distributors
for
such
services
were
fair
and
reasonable
in
relation
to
the
nature
and
quality
of
such
services,
the
fees
paid
by
competitive
funds
and
the
costs
incurred
by
PSERV
and
Franklin
Distributors
in
providing
such
services.
Furthermore,
the
Trustees
were
of
the
view
that
the
investor
services
provided
by
PSERV
were
required
for
the
operation
of
the
mutual
funds,
and
that
they
were
of
a
quality
at
least
equal
to
those
provided
by
other
providers.
