In the section What are the funds’ and each underlying fund’s main investment strategies and related risks? the fourth paragraph in the sub-section Additional information about investment strategies and related risks of the underlying funds -- Putnam Absolute Return Funds is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The funds pursue their goals through portfolios that are structured to offer varying degrees of risk, expected volatility and expected returns. The funds seek to earn a positive total return that exceeds, by a particular amount, the return on U.S. Treasury bills as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury Bill Index. The index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar denominated U.S. Treasury bills, which represent obligations of the U.S. Government having a maturity of one year or less. Returns on U.S. Treasury bills often track inflation levels (although the returns of U.S. Treasury bills and inflation rates can diverge significantly from time to time).
