HOW HAS THE FUND CHANGED?

Effective July 15, 2026, the Fund’s name changed to “Franklin Multi-Asset Income Fund”.

Effective August 1, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), The Putnam Advisory Company, LLC (“PAC”), a sub-advisor to the Fund prior to the Effective Date, and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Templeton, Inc. (formerly Franklin Resources, Inc.), transferred its investment personnel and the assets and liabilities related to its Singapore branch’s investment management business to Templeton Asset Management Ltd. (“TAML”), also an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Templeton, Inc. (the “Reorganization”). As of the Effective Date, PAC investment professionals in its Singapore branch became employees of TAML, and the sub-advisory agreement between Franklin Advisers, Inc. (the “Investment Manager”) and PAC with respect to the Fund was transferred to TAML pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement (such sub-advisory agreement, as modified by the assignment and assumption agreement, the “New Sub-Advisory Contract”). In connection with the Reorganization, the Fund’s Trustees approved the New Sub-Advisory Contract between the Investment Manager and TAML, pursuant to which TAML became a sub-advisor of the Fund on the Effective Date.

The changes described above are not expected to change the Fund’s investment strategy or the way in which the Fund’s assets are managed in any material way, are not expected to materially change the nature or level of services provided to the Fund, and will not result in an increase in the fees payable by the Fund to the Investment Manager.

This is a summary of certain changes to the Fund since September 1, 2025. For more complete information, you may review the Fund’s current prospectus and any applicable supplements and the Fund’s next prospectus, which we expect to be available by January 1, 2027, at https://www.franklintempleton.com/regulatory-fund-documents or upon request at (800) 225-1581 or [email protected].

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

(a) The Registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers and principal financial and accounting officer.

(c) N/A

(d) N/A

(f) Pursuant to Item 19(a) (1), the Registrant is attaching as an exhibit a copy of its code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers and principal financial and accounting officer.

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The Board of Trustees of the Registrant has determined that Warren Lowell, Kenneth Tanji and Manoj P. Singh possess the technical attributes identified in Item 3 to Form N-CSR to qualify as “audit committee financial experts,” and has designated Warren Lowell, Kenneth Tanji and Manoj P. Singh as the Audit Committee’s financial experts. Warren Lowell, Kenneth Tanji and Manoj P. Singh are “independent” Trustees pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR.

Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

(a) Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the last two fiscal years ending August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2026 (the “Reporting Periods”) for professional services rendered by the Registrant’s principal accountant (the “Auditor”) for the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the Auditor in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were $101,148 in August 31, 2025 and $85,390 in August 31, 2026.

(b) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for assurance and related services by the Auditor that are reasonably related to the performance of the Registrant’s financial statements were $0 in August 31, 2025 and $0 in August 31, 2026.

(c) Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for professional services rendered by the Auditor for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning (“Tax Services”) were $21,408 in August 31, 2025 and $21,408 in August 31, 2026. These services consisted of (i) review or preparation of U.S. federal, state, local and excise tax returns; (ii) U.S. federal, state and local tax planning, advice and assistance regarding statutory, regulatory or administrative developments, and (iii) tax advice regarding tax qualification matters and/or treatment of various financial instruments held or proposed to be acquired or held.

 

There were no fees billed for tax services by the Registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant (“Service Affiliates”) during the Reporting Periods that required pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

(d) All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for products and services provided by the Auditor to the Registrant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this item, were $0 in August 31, 2025 and $0 in August 31, 2026.

There were no other non-audit services rendered by the Auditor to the Service Affiliates requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee in the Reporting Periods.

(e) Audit Committee’s pre–approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c) (7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Pre-Approval Policies of the Audit, Compliance and Risk Committee. The Audit, Compliance and Risk Committee of the Putnam funds has determined that, as a matter of policy, all work performed for the funds by the funds’ independent auditors will be pre-approved by the Committee itself and thus will generally not be subject to pre-approval procedures.

The Audit, Compliance and Risk Committee also has adopted a policy to pre-approve the engagement by the fund’s investment manager and certain of its affiliates of the fund’s independent auditors, even in circumstances where pre-approval is not required by applicable law. Any such requests by the fund’s investment manager or certain of its affiliates are typically submitted in writing to the Committee and explain, among other things, the nature of the proposed engagement, the estimated fees, and why this work should be performed by that particular audit firm as opposed to another one. In reviewing such requests, the Committee considers, among other things, whether the provision of such services by the audit firm are compatible with the independence of the audit firm.

Effective

July

Putnam

Multi-Asset

Income

Fund

was

renamed

Franklin

Multi-Asset

Income

Fund.

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. 

Equity

securities,

exchange

traded

funds,

and

derivative

financial

instruments listed

on

an

exchange

or

on

the

NASDAQ

National

Market

System

are

valued

at

the

last

quoted

sale

price

or

the

official

closing

price of

the

day,

respectively.

Foreign

equity

securities

are

valued

as

of

the

close

of

trading

on

the

foreign

stock

exchange

on

which

the

security

is

primarily

traded,

or

as

of

4

p.m.

Eastern

time.

The

value

is

then

converted

into

its

U.S.

dollar

equivalent

at

the

foreign

exchange

rate

in

effect

at

4

p.m.

Eastern

time

on

the

day

that

the

value

of

the

security

is

determined.

Over-the-

counter

(OTC)

securities

are

valued

within

the

range

of

the

most

recent

quoted

bid

and

ask

prices.

Securities

that

trade

in

multiple

markets

or

on

multiple

exchanges

are

valued

according

to

the

broadest

and

most

representative

market.

Certain

equity

securities

are

valued

based

upon

fundamental

characteristics

or

relationships

to

similar

securities. 

Debt

securities

generally

trade

in

the 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.

Securities

denominated

in

a

foreign

currency

are

converted

into

their

U.S.

dollar

equivalent

at

the

foreign

exchange

rate

in

effect

at

4

p.m.

Eastern

time

on

the

date

that

the

values

of

the

foreign

debt

securities

are

determined.

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.

franklintempleton.com

Annual

Report

Franklin

Multi-Asset

Income

Fund

(continued)

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.

Trading

in

securities

on

foreign

securities

stock

exchanges

and

OTC

markets

may

be

completed

before

4

p.m.

Eastern

time.

In

addition,

trading

in

certain

foreign

markets

may

not

take

place

on

every

Fund's

business

day. Events

can occur

between

the

time

at

which

trading

in

a

foreign

security

is

completed

and

4

p.m.

Eastern

time

that

might

call

into

question

the

reliability

of

the

value

of

a

portfolio

security

held

by

the

Fund.

As

a

result,

differences

may

arise

between

the

value

of

the

Fund's

portfolio

securities

as

determined

at

the

foreign

market

close

and

the

latest

indications

of

value

at

4

p.m.

Eastern

time. In

order

to

minimize

the

potential

for

these

differences,

an

independent

pricing

service

may

be

used

to

adjust

the

value

of

the

Fund's

portfolio

securities

to

the

latest

indications

of

fair

value

at

4

p.m.

Eastern

time.

At

August

31,

2026,

certain

securities

may

have

been

fair

valued

using

these

procedures,

in

which

case

the

securities

were

categorized

as

Level

2

within

the

fair

value

hierarchy

(referred

to

as

“market

level

fair

value”).

See

the

Fair

Value

Measurements

note

for

more

information.

When

the

last

day

of

the

reporting

period

is

a

non-business

day,

certain

foreign

markets

may

be

open

on

those

days

that

the

Fund's

NAV

is

not

calculated,

which

could

result

in

differences

between

the

value

of

the

Fund's

portfolio

securities

on

the

last

business

day

and

the

last

calendar

day

of

the

reporting

period.

Any

security

valuation

changes

due

to

an

open

foreign

market

are

adjusted

and

reflected

by

the

Fund

for

financial

reporting

purposes.

b.

Foreign

Currency

Translation 

Portfolio

securities

and

other

assets

and

liabilities

denominated

in

foreign

currencies

are

translated

into

U.S.

dollars

based

on

the

exchange

rate

of

such

currencies

against

U.S.

dollars

on

the

date

of

valuation.

The

Fund

may

enter

into

foreign

currency

exchange

contracts

to

facilitate

transactions

denominated

in

a

foreign

currency.

Purchases

and

sales

of

securities,

income

and

expense

items

denominated

in

foreign

currencies

are

translated

into

U.S.

dollars

at

the

exchange

rate

in

effect

on

the

transaction

date.

Portfolio

securities

and

assets

and

liabilities

denominated

in

foreign

currencies

contain

risks

that

those

currencies

will

decline

in

value

relative

to

the

U.S.

dollar.

Occasionally,

events

may

impact

the

availability

or

reliability

of

foreign

exchange

rates

used

to

convert

the

U.S.

dollar

equivalent

value.

If

such

an

event

occurs,

the

foreign

exchange

rate

will

be

valued

at

fair

value

using

procedures

established

and

approved

by

the

Board.

The

Fund

does

not

separately

report

the

effect

of

changes

in

foreign

exchange

rates

from

changes

in

market

prices

on

securities

held.

Such

changes

are

included

in

net

realized

and

unrealized

gain

or

loss

from

investments

in

the

Consolidated

Statement of

Operations.

Realized

foreign

exchange

gains

or

losses

arise

from

sales

of

foreign

currencies,

currency

gains

or

losses

realized

between

the

trade

and

settlement

dates

on

securities

transactions

and

the

difference

between

the

recorded

amounts

of

dividends,

interest,

and

foreign

withholding

taxes

and

the

U.S.

dollar

equivalent

of

the

amounts

actually

received

or

paid.

Net

unrealized

foreign

exchange

gains

and

losses

arise

from

changes

in

foreign

exchange

rates

on

foreign

denominated

assets

and

liabilities

other

than

investments

in

securities

held

at

the

end

of

the

reporting

period.

c.

Stripped

Securities 

The

Fund

may

invest

in

stripped

securities

which

represent

a

participation

in

securities

that

may

be

structured

in

classes

with

rights

Securities

Purchased

on

a

When-Issued,

Forward Commitment or

Delayed

Delivery

Basis

and

TBA

Basis

The

Fund

may

purchase

securities

on

a when-issued,

forward

commitment

or

delayed

delivery

and to-be-

announced

(TBA)

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.

Although

the

Fund

will

generally

purchase

these

securities

with

the

intention

of

holding

the

securities, it

may

sell

the

securities

before

the

settlement

date.

The

Fund

may

also

enter

into

TBA

sale

commitments

to

hedge

its

portfolio

positions,

to

sell

mortgage-backed

securities

it

owns

under

delayed

delivery

arrangements

or

to

take

a

short

position

in

mortgage-backed

securities.

Proceeds

of

TBA

sale

commitments

are

not

received

until

the

contractual

settlement

date.

During

the

time

a

TBA

sale

commitment

is

outstanding,

either

equivalent

deliverable

securities

or

an

offsetting

TBA

purchase

commitment

deliverable

on

or

before

the

sale

commitment

date

are

held

as

“cover”

transaction,

or

other

liquid

assets

in

an

amount

equal

to

the

notional

value

of

the

TBA

sale

commitment

are

segregated.

If

the

TBA

sale

commitment

is

closed

through

the

acquisition

of

an

offsetting

TBA

purchase

commitment,

the

Fund

realizes

a

gain

or

loss.

If

the

Fund

delivers

securities

under

the

commitment,

the

Fund

realizes

a

gain

or

a

loss

from

the

sale

of

the

securities

based

upon

the

unit

price

established

at

the

date

the

commitment

was

entered

into.

TBA

commitments,

which

are

accounted

for

as

purchase

and

sale

transactions,

may

be

considered

securities

themselves,

and

involve

a

risk

of

loss

due

to

changes

in

the

value

of

the

security

prior

to

the

settlement

date

as

well

as

the

risk

that

the

counterparty

to

the

transaction

will

not

perform

its

obligations.

Counterparty

risk

is

mitigated

by

having

a

master

agreement

between

the

Fund

and

the

counterparty.

Unsettled

TBA

commitments

are

valued

at

their

fair

value

according

to

the

procedures

described

in

the

Financial

Instrument

Valuation

note.

The

contract

is

marked

to

market

daily

and

the

change

in

fair

value

is

recorded

by

the

Fund

as

an

unrealized

gain

or

loss.

Based

on

market

circumstances,

the

investment

manager

will

determine

whether

to

take

delivery

of

the

underlying

securities

or

to

dispose

of

the

TBA

commitments

prior

to

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

Consolidated

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

Realized

gain

and

loss

and

unrealized

appreciation

and

depreciation

on

these

contracts

for

the

period

are

included

in

the

Consolidated

Statement

of

Operations.

Derivative

counterparty

credit

risk

is

managed

through

a

formal

evaluation

of

the

creditworthiness

of

all

potential

counterparties.

The

Fund

attempts

to

reduce

its

exposure

to

counterparty

credit

risk

on

OTC

derivatives,

whenever

possible,

by

entering

into

International

Swaps

and

Derivatives

Association

(ISDA)

master

agreements

with

certain

counterparties.

These

agreements

contain

various

provisions,

including

but

not

limited

to

collateral

requirements,

events

of

default,

or

early

termination.

Termination

events

applicable

to

the

counterparty

include

certain

deteriorations

in

the

credit

quality

of

the

counterparty.

Termination

events

applicable

to

the

Fund

include

failure

of

the

Fund

to

maintain

certain

net

asset

levels

and/

or

limit

the

decline

in

net

assets

over

various

periods

of

time.

In

the

event

of

default

or

early

termination,

the

ISDA

master

agreement

gives

the

non-defaulting

party

the

right

to

net

and

close-out

all

transactions

traded,

whether

or

not

arising

under

the

ISDA

agreement,

to

one

net

amount

payable

by

one

counterparty

to

the

other.

Early

by

may

result

in

an

immediate

payment

by

the

Fund

of

any

net

liability

owed

to

that

counterparty

under

the

ISDA

agreement.

At

August

31,

2026,

the

Fund

had

OTC

derivatives

in

a

net

liability

position

by

counterparty

of

$106,566.

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.

For

OTC

derivatives

traded

under

an

ISDA

master

agreement,

posting

of

collateral

is

required

by

either

the

Fund

or

the

applicable

counterparty

if

the

total

net

exposure

of

all

OTC

derivatives

with

the

applicable

counterparty

exceeds

the

minimum

transfer

amount,

which

typically

ranges

from

$100,000

to

$250,000,

and

can

vary

depending

on

the

counterparty

and

the

type

of agreement.

Generally,

collateral

is

determined

at

the

close

of

Fund

business

each

day

and

any

additional

collateral

required

due

to

changes

in

derivative

values

may

be

delivered

by

the

Fund

or

the

counterparty

the

next

business

day,

or

within

a

few

business

days.

Collateral

pledged

and/or

received

by

the

Fund

for

OTC

derivatives,

if

any,

is

held

in

segregated

accounts

with

the

Fund's

custodian/counterparty

broker

and

can

be

in

the

form

of

cash

and/or

securities.

Unrestricted

cash

may

be

invested

according

to

the

Fund's

investment

objectives.

To

the

extent

that

the

amounts

due

to

the

Fund

from

its

counterparties

are

not

subject

to

collateralization

or

are

not

fully

collateralized,

the

Fund

bears

the

risk

of

loss

from

counterparty

non-performance.

The

Fund entered

into

OTC

forward

exchange

contracts

primarily

to

manage

and/or

gain exposure

to

certain

foreign

currencies.

A

forward

exchange

contract

is

an

agreement

between

the

Fund

and

a

counterparty

to

buy

or

sell

a

foreign

currency at

a

specific

exchange

rate

on

a

future

date.

Forward

futures

contracts

primarily

to

manage

and/or

is

an

agreement

between

and

a

counterparty

to

buy

or

sell

an

asset

at

a

specified

price

on

a

The

Fund entered

into

interest

rate

swap

contracts

primarily

to

manage

interest

rate

risk.

An

interest

rate

swap

is

an

agreement

between

the

Fund

and

a

counterparty

to

exchange

cash

flows

based

on

the

difference

between

two

interest

rates,

applied

to

a

notional

amount.

These

agreements

may

be

privately

negotiated

in

the

over-the-

counter

market

(OTC

interest

rate

swaps)

or

may

be

executed

on

Income

and

Deferred

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 if

applicable,

excise

taxes.

As

a

result,

no

provision

for

U.S.

federal

income

taxes

is

required.

The

Fund

may

be

subject

to

foreign

taxation

related

to

income

received,

capital

gains

on

the

sale

of

securities

and

certain

foreign

currency

transactions

in

the

foreign

jurisdictions

in

which it

invests.

Foreign

taxes,

if

any,

are

recorded

based

on

the

tax

regulations

and

rates

that

exist

in

the

foreign

markets

in

which

the

Fund

invests.

In

some

cases,

the

Fund

may

be

entitled

to

reclaim

all

or

a

portion

of

such

taxes,

and

such

reclaim

amounts,

if

any,

are

reflected

as

a

dividend

receivable

in

the

Consolidated

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities

and

dividend

income

in

the

Consolidated

Statement

of

Operations.

In

many

cases,

however,

the

Fund

may

not

receive

such

amounts

for

an

extended

period

of

time,

depending

on

the

country

of

investment.

When

a

capital

gain

tax

is

determined

to

apply,

the

Fund

records

an

estimated

deferred

tax

liability

in

an

amount

that

would

be

payable

if

the

securities

were

disposed

of

on

the

valuation

date.

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

2026, the Fund

has

determined

that

no

tax

liability

is

required

in

its

related

to

uncertain

tax

positions

for

any

open

tax

years

(or

to

be

taken

in

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.

l.

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

and

Defaulted

Securities

At

August

31,

2026,

the

Fund

had 13.4%

of

its

portfolio

invested

in

high

yield

securities,

senior

secured

floating

rate

loans,

or

other

securities

rated

below

investment

grade and

unrated

securities.

These

securities

may

be

more

sensitive

to

economic

conditions

causing

greater

price

volatility

and

are

potentially

subject

to

a

greater

risk

of

loss

due

to

default

than

higher

rated

securities.

The

Fund held

defaulted

securities

and/or

other

securities

for

which

the

income

has

been

deemed

uncollectible.

At

August

31,

2026,

the

aggregate

value

of

these

securities

was $792,834,

representing 0.1%

of

the

Fund's

net

assets.

The

Fund

discontinues

accruing

income

on

securities

for

which

income

has

been

deemed

uncollectible

and

provides

an

estimate

for

losses

on

The

securities

have

been

identified

in

the

accompanying Consolidated

of

Investments.

8.

Restricted

Securities

The

Fund

invests

in

securities

that

are

restricted

under

the

Securities

Act

of

1933

(1933

Act).

Restricted

securities

are

often

purchased

in

private

placement

transactions,

and

cannot

be

sold

without

prior

registration

unless

the

sale

is

pursuant

to

an

exemption

under

the

1933

Act.

Disposal

of

these

securities

may

require

greater

effort

and

expense,

and

prompt

sale

at

an

acceptable

price

may

be

difficult.

The Fund

may

have

registration

rights

for

restricted

securities.

The

issuer

generally

incurs

all

registration

costs.

At

August

31,

2026,

investments

in

restricted

securities,

excluding

securities

exempt

from

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

Consolidated

Statement

of

Operations.

During

the

year

ended

August

31,

2026,

the Fund

did

not

use

the

Global

Credit

Facility.

11.

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

Opinion

on

the

Financial

Statements

We

have

audited

the

accompanying

consolidated

statement

of

assets

and

liabilities,

including

the

consolidated

schedule

of

investments,

of

Franklin

Multi-Asset

Income

Fund

and

its

subsidiary

(one

of

the

funds

constituting

Putnam

Asset

Funds,

referred

to

hereafter

as

the

“Fund”)

as

of

August

31,

2026,

the

related

consolidated

statement

of

operations

for

the

year

ended

August

31,

2026,

the

consolidated

statement

of

changes

in

for

each

of

the

two

years

in

the

period

ended

31,

2026,

including

the

notes,

the

consolidated

financial

highlights

for

each

of

the

two

years

in

the

period

ended

August

31,

2026,

and

the

financial

for

each

of

the

periods

ended

on

or

prior

to

August

31,

2024

indicated

therein

(collectively

referred

to

as

the

“financial

statements”).

In

our

opinion,

the

financial

statements

present

fairly,

in

all

material

respects,

the

financial

position

of

the

Fund

as

of

August

31,

2026,

the

results

of

its

operations

for

the

year

then

ended,

the

changes

in

its

net

for

each

of

the

two

in

the

period

ended

August

31,

2026

and

the

highlights

for

each

of

the

periods

indicated

therein

in

conformity

with

accounting

principles

generally

accepted

in

the

United

States

of

America.

Basis

for

Opinion

These

financial

statements

are

the

responsibility

of

the

Fund’s

management.

Our

responsibility

is

to

express

an

opinion

on

the

Fund’s

financial

statements

based

on

our

audits.

We

are

a

public

accounting

firm

registered

with

the

Public

Company

Accounting

Oversight

Board

(United

States)

(PCAOB)

and

are

required

to

be

independent

with

respect

to

the

Fund

in

accordance

with

the

U.S.

federal

securities

laws

and

the

applicable

rules

and

regulations

of

the

Securities

and

Exchange

Commission

and

the

PCAOB.

We

conducted

our

audits

of

these

financial

statements

in

accordance

with

the

standards

of

the

PCAOB.

Those

standards

require

that

we

plan

and

perform

the

audit

to

obtain

reasonable

assurance

about

whether

the

financial

statements

are

free

of

material

misstatement,

whether

due

to

error

or

fraud.

Our

audits

included

performing

procedures

to

assess

the

risks

of

material

misstatement

of

the

financial

statements,

whether

due

to

error

or

fraud,

and

performing

procedures

that

respond

to

those

risks.

Such

procedures

included

examining,

on

a

test

basis,

evidence

regarding

the

amounts

and

disclosures

in

the

financial

statements.

Our

audits

also

included

evaluating

the

accounting

principles

used

and

significant

estimates

made

by

management,

as

well

as

evaluating

the

overall

presentation

of

the

financial

statements.

Our

procedures

included

confirmation

of

securities

owned

as

of

August

31,

2026

by

correspondence

with

the

custodian,

transfer

agents,

agent

banks

and

brokers;

when

replies

were

not

received

from

brokers

or

the

agent

bank,

we

performed

other

auditing

procedures.

We

believe

that

our

audits

provide

a

reasonable

basis

for

our

opinion.

Annual

Report

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

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.

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

impact

of

expenses

by

spreading

them

over

a

larger

asset

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

Putnam

Annual

Report

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

December

31,

2027.

In

addition,

the

Advisor

contractually

agreed

to

waive

fees

and/or

reimburse

expenses

of

your

fund

to

the

extent

that

the

total

annual

fund

operating

expenses

of

the

fund

(excluding

payments

under

the

fund’s

distribution

plans,

investor

servicing

fees,

brokerage,

interest,

taxes,

investment-related

expenses,

extraordinary

expenses

and

acquired

fund

fees

and

expenses)

would

not

exceed

an

annual

rate

of

0.40%

of

its

average

net

assets

through

at

least

December

31,

2027.

During

its

fiscal

year

ending

in

2025,

your

fund’s

expenses

were

reduced

as

a

result

of

this

expense

limitation.

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

second

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

first

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

net

fees

and

expenses.)

The

first

quintile

represents

the

least

expensive

funds

and

the

fifth

quintile

the

most

expensive

The

and

reported

by

Annual

Report

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

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

rate

from

4.25%

at

year-end

2024

to

3.5%

at

In

as

markets,

provided

a

complex

environment:

a

with

significant

actions,

including

tariffs;

complex

inflation;

rates

and

Federal

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

basis

for

each

of

the

three-year,

five-year

and

ten-year

periods.

The

Trustees

also

considered

the

Morningstar

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

contributing

to

the

underperformance

where

relevant,

actions

being

taken

to

improve

the

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

Allocation

Conservative

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

period

and

the

period

since

inception

ended

December

31,

2025,

there

were

291

and

286

funds,

respectively,

in

your

fund’s

Lipper

peer

group.

(When

considering

should

be

that

is

not

a

guarantee

of

future

results.)

Brokerage

and

soft-dollar

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

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

and

execution

remains

paramount

in

the

process.

Annual

Report

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.

Trustee

approval

of

sub-advisory

contract

At

its

meeting

on

May

21,

2026,

the

Board

of

Trustees

of

your

fund,

including

all

of

the

Independent

Trustees,

approved

a

new

Sub-Advisory

Contract

with

respect

to

your

fund

(the

“New

TAML

Sub-Advisory

Contract”)

between

the

Advisor

and

its

affiliate,

TAML.

TAML

is

a

wholly-owned

subsidiary

of

Franklin

Templeton

and

an

affiliate

of

the

Advisor.

The

Trustees

considered

the

proposed

New

TAML

Sub-Advisory

Contract

in

connection

with

the

consolidation

of

PAC’s

Singapore

branch

office

into

TAML

(the

“Reorganization”),

expected

to

take

place

on

or

about

August

1,

2026.

The

Trustees

considered

that,

in

connection

with

the

Reorganization,

PAC

investment

professionals

would

become

employees

of

TAML.

The

Trustees

also

noted

that,

as

part

of

the

Reorganization,

TAML

was

proposed

to

assume

the

role

of

investment

sub-adviser

for

your

fund

and

other

Putnam

funds

sub-advised

by

PAC,

which

would

be

accomplished

through

a

transfer

by

PAC

of

all

of

its

rights

and

obligations

under

the

previous

sub-advisory

contract

between

Putnam

Management

and

PAC

(the

“Previous

PAC

Sub-Advisory

Contract”)

to

TAML

by

means

of

an

assignment

and

assumption

agreement

that

would

take

effect

upon

the

closing

of

the

Reorganization

(the

New

Subadvisory

Contract

refers

to

the

Previous

PAC

Sub-Advisory

Contract,

as

modified

by

the

terms

of

the

related

assignment

and

assumption

agreement).

(Because

TAML

is

an

affiliate

of

the

Advisor

and

the

Advisor

remains

fully

responsible

for

all

services

provided

by

TAML,

the

Trustees

did

not

attempt

to

evaluate

TAML

as

a

separate

entity.)

The

Trustees

noted

that

Franklin

Templeton

viewed

the

Reorganization

as

a

further

step

in

the

integration

of

the

legacy

Putnam

and

Franklin

Templeton

organizations,

offering

potential

operational

efficiencies

and

enhanced

investment

resources

for

the

funds.

The

Trustees

also

considered,

among

other

factors,

that:

The

Reorganization

and

the

New

TAML

Sub-Advisory

Contract

would

not

result

in

any

reduction

or

material

change

in

the

nature

or

the

level

of

the

sub-advisory

services

provided

to

the

funds;

The

New

TAML

Sub-Advisory

Contract

would

not

result

in

an

increase

in

the

advisory

fee

rates

payable

by

each

fund,

as

the

Advisor

would

be

responsible

for

overseeing

the

investment

advisory

services

provided

to

the

applicable

funds

by

TAML

under

the

New

TAML

Sub-Advisory

Contract

and

would

compensate

TAML

for

such

services

out

of

the

fees

it

receives

under

each

fund’s

Management

Contract

with

the

Advisor;

and

The

assignment

and

assumption

agreement

would

not

change

any

of

the

terms

of

the

Previous

PAC

Sub-Advisory

Contract,

including

the

related

sub-advisory

fees,

other

than

the

party

thereto.

The

Trustees

considered

that,

prior

to

the

Reorganization,

counsel

to

Franklin

Templeton

had

provided

a

legal

opinion

that

the

Reorganization

and

the

appointment

of

TAML

as

sub-adviser

to

the

funds

would

not

result

in

an

“assignment”

under

the

1940

Act

of

the

New

TAML

Sub-Advisory

Contract

and

that

the

New

TAML

Sub-Advisory

Contract

did

not

require

shareholder

approval.

The

Trustees

also

took

into

account

that

they

had

most

recently

approved

the

fund’s

Previous

PAC

Sub-Advisory

Contract

on

June

27,

2025.

In

connection

with

approval

of

the

New

TAML

Sub-Advisory

Contract,

reference

was

made

to

the

process

undertaken

and

information

provided

during

the

Board’s

consideration

and

approval

on

June

27,

2025

of

the

continuation

of

the

Previous

PAC

Sub-Advisory

Contract

with

respect

to

your

fund.

The

Trustees

also
