PRRQX Putnam Retirement Advantage Plus 2030 Fund

Risks

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Investments in underlying funds are subject to the same risks as, and indirectly bear the fees and expenses of, the underlying funds. The allocation of assets among different strategies, asset classes and investments may not prove beneficial or produce the desired results. The investment style may become out of favor, which may have a negative impact on performance. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks, and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. An investment in private market investments is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with them (such as private credit and private equity) with potential limited liquidity. Shares will not be listed on a public exchange, and no secondary market is expected to develop. Interval funds are required to offer quarterly redemptions of at least 5% of fund NAV. Tender offer funds offer periodic redemptions with timing and amounts set by the manager. Many tender offer funds offer quarterly redemptions but can be reduced or suspended from the fund's intended targets board approval. The risks associated with a real estate strategy include, but are not limited to various risks inherent in the ownership of real estate property, such as fluctuations in lease occupancy rates and operating expenses, variations in rental schedules, which in turn may be adversely affected by general and local economic conditions, the supply and demand for real estate properties, zoning laws, rent control laws, real property taxes, the availability and costs of financing, environmental laws, and uninsured losses (generally from catastrophic events such as earthquakes, floods and wars). Active management does not ensure gains or protect against market declines. These and other risks are discussed in the fund's prospectus.
