Overview

Fund Description

The fund seeks as high a rate of current income as we that the portfolio managers believe is consistent with preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity by investing at least 99.5 percent of its total assets in cash, U.S. government securities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities or cash.

Strategy and process

  • Capital preservation. The fund invests at least 99.5 percent of its total assets in cash, U.S. government securities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities or cash.
  • A high-quality portfolio. The fund invests in high-quality debt securities that are obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities. Accordingly, the vast majority of the portfolio is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States or by the credit of a federal agency or government-sponsored entity, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
  • Leading research. The fund's veteran portfolio managers, supported by Putnam's fixed income research division, manage risk by analyzing individual securities and overall market conditions.

Annually, a fund must distribute all realized capital gains net of realized losses, so the fund will not be subject to an entity level income tax. A fund’s capital gain distribution in a particular year may be a result of the disposition of holdings that appreciated in value during prior years. Thus, while the fund may gain or lose value over the course of a year, a capital gain distribution paid by the fund may not be indicative of current performance of the fund.

The distributable amount of net capital gains are paid on a per-share basis to all investors who hold shares of the fund on the record date of the distribution and are recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes as of the ex-date of the distribution, regardless of when the gains or losses arose in the fund. Net gains on holdings held long term by the fund would be distributed to shareholders as a long-term capital gain distribution no matter how long the shareholder has owned shares in the fund.

Refer to the fund’s annual report or statement of additional information for specific information regarding distributions.

Risks

What Are The Risks?

You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund's sponsor is not required to reimburse the fund for losses, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time, including during periods of market stress. Although the fund invests in U.S. government obligations, an investment in the fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government.

All investments involve risk, including loss of principal. The fund's yield may be affected by changes in interest rates and changes in credit ratings. These and other risks are discussed in the fund's prospectus.
