About Putnam Core Bond Fund Class A

The fund invests mainly in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade fixed-income securities. It invests mainly in bonds of governments and private companies that are investment-grade in quality with intermediate- to long-term maturities (three years or longer). The fund may invest in below-investment-grade investments. Under normal circumstances, it will invest at least 80% of its net assets in bonds (bonds include any debt instrument, and may be represented by other investment instruments, including derivatives).
