Asset allocation makes sense

• Diversification helps solve the volatility problem

– Over time, diversifying across several asset classes may be the most effective strategy for accumulating wealth

* Rebalanced annually.

Asset classes shown in the tile chart and the performance comparison bar chart are represented by 11 indexes. The asset allocation scenario is based on investments evenly distributed across these asset classes. The risk allocation scenario is based on the following weightings: 30% TIPS, 25% U.S. bonds, 25% international bonds, 15% high-yield bonds, 5% emerging-market bonds, 5% REITs, 15% U.S. stocks, 10% international stocks, 5% emerging-market stocks, 15% commodities, and, to reflect the role of leverage, -50% cash. Annual performance is adjusted by adding 1% to the return of cash, then subtracting this sum from overall returns. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss. It is possible to lose money in a diversified portfolio.

The examples are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect average annualized returns or the performance of any Putnam fund, which will fluctuate. Data are historical. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. All indexes are unmanaged and measure common sectors of global asset markets.
