PYSCX : Putnam Equity Spectrum Fund Class C

Fund Summary

The investment seeks capital appreciation. The fund invests in equity securities of companies of any size, including both growth and value stocks, that the managers believe have favorable investment potential. The adviser expects to invest in leveraged companies, which employ significant leverage in their capital structure through borrowing from banks or other lenders or through issuing fixed-income, convertible or preferred equity securities, and whose fixed income securities are often rated below-investment-grade (sometimes referred to as "junk bonds"). The fund is non-diversified.
