Background to the Trust

Putnam World Trust 3

Putnam World Trust (the “Trust”) is an umbrella Unit Trust established as an Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities pursuant to the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities ("UCITS")) Regulations, 2011 (as amended) (the “Regulations”) and authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”). The Trust was constituted on 18 February 2000 and commenced operations on 22 February 2000.

Effective 1 July 2011, the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011 (as amended) came into operation in Ireland giving effect to Directive 2009/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009. The Trust has adopted specific policies and procedures in order to comply with its obligations under these Regulations.

The Trust is an umbrella Unit Trust comprising Funds (collectively the "Funds") in which different classes of Units may be issued from time to time. Each Fund represents interests in a trust comprising a separate and distinct portfolio of investments. The Manager may issue different classes of Units in each Fund. Each Fund will bear its own liabilities and shall not bear the liabilities of any other Fund.

Putnam World Trust Funds (other than Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2, Putnam Multi-Asset Absolute Return Fund I, Putnam Multi-Asset Absolute Return Fund II and Putnam U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund) are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange.

Investment Objectives

4 Putnam World Trust

The assets of each Fund will be invested separately in accordance with the investment objectives and policies of the Fund. Each Fund has its own investment goal and strategy for pursuing it.

Putnam Asia Pacific (Ex-Japan) Equity Fund The investment objective of the Fund is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund seeks its objective by investing at least two-thirds of its total assets (after deduction of ancillary liquid assets) in equity securities and equity related securities such as warrants, convertible stocks or preferred stocks issued by Asian and Pacific region (other than Japanese) companies.

Putnam Emerging Markets Equity Fund The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least two-thirds of its total assets (after deduction of ancillary liquid assets) in equity securities and equity related securities such as warrants, convertible stocks or preferred stocks issued from developing or “emerging” markets. Emerging markets include countries that are included in the MSCI Emerging Market Free Index, the composition of which may change from time to time. To determine whether a company is based in an emerging market, The Putnam Advisory Company, LLC. (the "Investment Advisor"), looks at the following factors: where the company’s securities trade, where the company is located or organised, or where the company derives its revenues or profits.

Putnam Global Core Equity Fund The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least two-thirds of its total assets (after deduction of ancillary liquid assets) in equity securities and equity related securities such as warrants, convertible stocks or preferred stocks issued worldwide. The Fund will not invest more than 20% of its assets, at the time of purchase, outside of those countries included in the MSCI World Index, the composition of which may change from time to time. Additionally the Fund will not invest more than 20 percentage points greater than the weighting in the MSCI World Index in securities of emerging market countries, at the time of purchase.

Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2* The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve an annual total return that exceeds six-month Sterling LIBOR by 2.0% or more, as measured over rolling three year periods.

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing principally and at least two-thirds of the Fund’s total assets (after deduction of ancillary liquid assets), in listed transferable securities i.e. in investment grade and non-investment grade government, agency, supranational, corporate and securitised bonds (including commercial paper and convertible bonds), collateralised mortgage obligations, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, collateralised securities, securitised loan interests, certificates of deposit and other short-term instruments.

There is also no limit on the percentage of the Fund’s assets that may be invested in any credit rating category or in unrated categories, and, accordingly, the Fund’s fixed income securities may include investment in high-yielding, lower-rated debt securities such as those rated lower than BBB by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or its equivalent by Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”) or Fitch Ratings or deemed to be of equivalent quality by the Investment Advisor.

* Effective 1 September 2015, the Fund's name changed to Putnam Fixed Income Global Alpha Fund.

Putnam Global High Yield Bond Fund The Fund seeks high current income. Capital growth is a secondary objective when consistent with the objective of high current income.

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least two-thirds of its total assets (after deduction of ancillary liquid assets) in high-yielding, lower-rated debt securities worldwide such as those rated lower than S&P’s BBB or Moody’s Baa and listed or traded on Recognised Exchanges (including unleveraged freely transferable loan participations securitised and traded on a Recognised Exchange, zero-coupon bond and payment-in-kind bonds) constituting a portfolio which the Investment Advisor believes does not involve undue risk to income or principal.

Putnam Multi-Asset Absolute Return Fund I The Fund's objective is to achieve an annual return that exceeds one-month LIBOR by 7.0% on an annualised basis over a reasonable period of time (generally at least three years or more) regardless of market conditions, gross of fees In pursuing its strategies, the Fund may invest, without limit, in many different asset classes: U.S., international, and emerging markets equity securities and fixed-income securities (including government and corporate issues), mortgage- and asset-backed securities, high yield securities (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”), inflation-protected securities, commodities (indirect only), and real estate trusts (“REITs”) (entities that invest primarily in income-producing real estate properties or real estate related loans, such as mortgages). The Fund has not launched as at 30 June 2015.

Putnam Multi-Asset Absolute Return Fund II The Fund's objective is to achieve an annual return that exceeds one-month LIBOR by 5.0% on an annualised basis over a reasonable period of time (generally at least three years or more) regardless of market conditions, gross of fees.

In pursuing its strategies, the Fund may invest, without limit, in many different asset classes: U.S., international, and emerging markets equity securities and fixed-income securities (including government and corporate issues), mortgage- and asset-backed securities, high yield securities (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”), inflation-protected securities, commodities (indirect only), and real estate trusts (“REITs”) (entities that invest primarily in income-producing real estate properties or real estate related loans, such as mortgages). The Fund has not launched as at 30 June 2015.

Putnam Total Return Fund The Fund’s investment objective is to provide positive total return, both relative and absolute, throughout varying market conditions. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing its net assets in a diversified multi-asset class portfolio. The portfolio allocation will draw upon various sources to drive the risk/return target of the Fund, including exposure to equities (e.g. U.S., non-U.S. emerging markets, large cap and small cap), fixed income (e.g. U.S., non-U.S. high yield and emerging markets), currencies and alternative assets classes (e.g. real estate investment trusts ("REITS") or other real estate instruments), treasury inflated protected securities (“TIPS”). The portfolio will also use various overlay techniques (e.g. global asset tactical allocation, currency and index options) in an attempt to add incremental return to the total portfolio.

Putnam World Trust 5

Putnam U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund The investment objective of the Fund is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least two-thirds of its total assets (after deduction of ancillary liquid assets) in equity securities and equity-related securities such as warrants, convertible stocks or preferred stocks issued by large capitalisation U.S. companies which are listed or traded on Recognised Exchanges globally, with a focus on growth stocks. Growth stocks are issued by companies whose earnings are expected to grow faster than those of similar firms, and whose business growth and other characteristics may lead to an increase in stock price. The Investment Advisor uses fundamental investment research to seek opportunities and may consider, among other factors, a company’s valuation, financial strength, growth potential, competitive position in the industry, projected future earnings, cash flows and dividends when deciding whether to buy or sell investments.

Policies

6 Putnam World Trust

Distribution Policy Each of the Funds is certified (with respect to certain classes of Units) as a Reporting Fund under Regulation 51 of the Offshore Funds (Tax) Regulations 2009.

Each Fund has its own specific distribution policy. If the Manager decides to make a distribution, it will be paid at the Manager’s discretion as set out in the relevant Prospectus Supplement for the Fund. For certain Funds, the Manager will distribute all net investment income of a Fund at least annually and sometimes more frequently as specified in the relevant supplement. Distributions shall be made to the Unitholders on record on the date of distribution in accordance with the number of Units held in that particular Fund. The distributions payable to Unitholders will be reinvested in Classes of Units of the relevant Fund unless otherwise requested by the Unitholder.

Distributions are payable to Unitholders who have elected to receive distributions in cash by transfer of funds (any charges being at the expense of the Unitholder) unless the amount of such distribution is US$50 or less or such other amount as determined by the Manager from time to time. Such amount shall not be distributed but shall be retained and reinvested.

The Manager does not currently intend to distribute net investment income with respect to the following Funds and Classes; not all classes listed below are currently in issue, see the section entitled “Background to the Trust”.

• Class E Units, Class I Units and Class Y Units of Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2;

• Class A Units, Class B Units, Class C Units, Class E2 Units, Class I Units, Class M Units and Class Y Units of Putnam Total Return Fund.

• Class A Units, Class B Units, Class C Units, Class I Units, Class M Units and Class Y Units of Putnam Asia Pacific (Ex-Japan) Equity Fund, Putnam Emerging Markets Equity Fund and Putnam Global Core Equity Fund; and

• Class A and M Units of Putnam U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund.

• Class E2 Units, Class I Units, Class S Units and Class Y Units of Putnam Multi-Asset Absolute Return Fund I and Putnam Multi-Asset Absolute Return Fund II.

If, in the future, it is determined that these Classes will distribute net investment income, the amount to be distributed to Unitholders will be decided upon by the Manager.

Calculation of Net Asset Value The Net Asset Value of each Fund will be expressed in the base currency of the relevant Fund and will be calculated on each Dealing Day by ascertaining the value of the assets of the Fund on such Dealing Day and deducting, from such value, the liabilities of the Fund on such Dealing Day. The Net Asset Value per Unit is calculated by dividing the Net Asset Value of the relevant Fund by the number of Units then outstanding for that Fund, or the Net Asset Value of the relevant Fund attributable to the Class of Unit divided by the number of Units in that Class then in issue or deemed to be in issue on such Dealing Day and rounding the result to the nearest unit of currency.

The most recently available Net Asset Value per Unit and the Net Asset Value per Unit per Class on each Dealing Day will be made public at the registered office of the administrator and at the following website addresses: www.fundinfo.com for investors in

Switzerland, www.europerformance.fr for investors in France or www.putnam.com/ucits (for all other investors) and/or in such other publication that the Manager may from time to time determine. Investors should note that the Trust and the Manager are not responsible for any other content (other than Net Asset Value) provided on the foregoing non-Putnam websites, and do not guarantee or assume responsibility for their contents.

Calculation of Sales Charges An initial sales charge of up to 6.25% of the Net Asset Value per Unit may be charged on certain classes or a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of up to 4% of the Net Asset Value per Unit may be charged at the discretion of the Manager.

Currently, Class A Units, Class M Units and Class T Units may be subject to a sales charge of up to 6.25% of the Net Asset Value per Unit. Certain Class A Units that are part of a subscription of US$1 million or more (US$500,000 or more for Putnam Global High Yield Bond Fund and Putnam Total Return Fund), may be subject to a 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within nine months of purchase, provided, however, that no other initial sales charge has been imposed in respect of the Class A Units to which the CDSC is applied.

Currently, Class B Units and Class C Units are offered without an initial sales charge at the time of purchase but a higher ongoing management fee is paid out of assets allocated to the relevant Fund and Class. Unitholders who purchase Class B Units may incur a CDSC of up to 4% if Units are redeemed within four years as set out in the Prospectus. Unitholders who purchase Class C Units may incur a 1% CDSC if Units are redeemed within one year of purchase.

There are no initial or deferred sales charges with respect to Class E Units, Class E2 Units, Class I Units, Class S Units and Class Y Units.

Any initial sales charges are accounted for before monies come into the Fund.

Financial Derivative Instruments The Manager may, on behalf of each Fund, employ techniques and instruments relating to transferable securities and money market instruments under and in accordance with conditions or requirements imposed by the Central Bank. The derivatives used by the Funds may include futures, swaps, swaptions, options, TBA purchases and sales, forward contracts, and contracts for difference, and they may be used for hedging and for investment purposes, including as a substitute for direct investment in securities or to obtain additional exposure beyond that which might be obtained from a traditional securities portfolio, subject always to the restrictions and requirements of the Central Bank. Details of the derivatives that may be used are set out in the derivatives risk management process filed with the Central Bank. The Funds may also use forward foreign exchange contracts and other currency instruments for hedging or to alter the currency exposure characteristics of transferable securities held by the Funds as an alternative currency exposure management strategy. The techniques and instruments that the Manager may use on behalf of the Trust or any Fund are set out in Appendix II of the Prospectus and, if applicable to a particular Fund, the relevant supplement.

For the purpose of providing margin or collateral in respect of the application of transactions in techniques and instruments, the Trustee may transfer, mortgage, charge, or encumber any assets or cash forming part of the relevant Fund.

Investment Manager’s Report

Dear Unitholder:

Looking back on the first half of 2015, we can highlight some transitions in the financial markets. The U.S. economy rallied from a brief dip during the first quarter, and bond yields rose on a sustained basis in recent months. Firmer data on employment growth, wage gains, and consumer prices underscore this progress. Europe, meanwhile, looked as if it had emerged from its 2014 slowdown into a broader midcycle expansion.

The U.S. Federal Reserve is monitoring these and other indicators as it considers raising interest rates, an action it has not taken since 2006. Higher interest rates can pose a risk to fixed-income investments, while also having a less direct impact on stocks by adding to business financing costs, among other effects.

Through mid-2015, U.S. stock market averages have continued near record-high levels. Although gains have been modest this year, the U.S. market has been more placid than China’s market, in which a dizzying advance gave way to a sharp pullback in June, and European markets that were caught up in Greece’s debt crisis. Global market conditions, we believe, call for a well-crafted and flexible strategy.

With the possibility that markets could move in different directions from here, it might be a prudent time to consult your financial advisor and determine whether any adjustments or additions to your portfolio are warranted.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome new unitholders to the Trust and, on behalf of everyone at Putnam Investments (Ireland) Limited, to thank all of our investors for your continued confidence in the Putnam World Trust family of funds.

Respectfully yours,

F. Peter Ferrelli

Director

Total Return for the year ended 30 June 2015 cont.

Putnam World Trust 9

* Total return is the change in Unit value and assumes reinvestment of all distributions back into the Fund. Performance data represent past results. Past performance may not be a reliable guide to future performance. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so an investor’s Units, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Fund performance data does not take into account any adjustment for taxes payable on reinvested distributions. All performance in this table is based on U.S. Dollar valuations, except for Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2, which is shown in Sterling, that Fund’s Base Currency.

** Class A and Class M Units of Putnam Total Return Fund launched on 30 June, 2006, Class S Units launched on 30 November, 2006, Class B and Class C Units launched on 10 July, 2007, Class E Units launched on 2 July, 2012, Class I Units launched on 28 December, 2012 and Class E2 Units launched on 16 March, 2015.

† Returns shown for Class C and Class I Units for the years prior to inception are derived from the historical performance of Class A Units adjusted to reflect the lower operating expenses applicable to such Units. Class I Units launched on 8 June, 2000, Class E Units launched on 23 May, 2003, Class S Units launched on 30 January, 2004 and Class C Units launched on 27 February, 2004.

Data is historical. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The performance data does not take account of the commissions and costs incurred on the issue and redemption of Units. More recent returns may be less or more than those shown.

Investment return, Net Asset Value, and market price will fluctuate, and you may have a gain or a loss when you sell your Units. Performance assumes reinvestment of distributions at NAV and does not account for any taxes or sales charges. The payment of any sales charges will reduce performance.

The difference at any one time between the issue price and the redemption price of Fund Units means that the investment should be viewed as medium to long term. For Funds with income as an objective, income may fluctuate in accordance with market conditions and taxation arrangements. Changes in the exchange rate may have an adverse effect on the value, price, or income of the Funds.

The Funds are sub-funds of Putnam World Trust, an umbrella Unit Trust domiciled in Ireland. Prior to 18 February 2000, Putnam Global High Yield Bond Fund was domiciled in the Cayman Islands and was subject to lower fees and expenses. The Trust is established as an undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities pursuant to the Regulations.

Putnam Asia Pacific (Ex-Japan) Equity Fund For the 12 months ended 30 June 2015, the Fund lagged its benchmark in both U.S. dollar and local-currency terms. U.S. dollar strength during much of the period hampered the Fund’s dollar-based returns. Stock selection and sector positioning worked against the Fund’s relative performance, while country allocations helped versus the benchmark.

From a country perspective, overweight exposure to China, combined with underweights in Malaysia and Australia, added the most value. On a sector basis, overweight allocations in energy, materials and consumer staples aided relative performance. However, an overweight in consumer discretionary, coupled with lighter-than-benchmark exposure to financials, hampered the Fund’s results and negated the benefit of positive positioning in other sectors. As for stock selection, picks in energy and materials detracted from relative performance, while selections in consumer discretionary and information technology were beneficial.

Top individual contributors to relative performance included out-of-benchmark investments in Cuckoo Electronics and Skyworth Digital (consumer discretionary), along with an overweight position in China Railway (industrials). On the downside, non-benchmark positions in Ezra Holdings and Ezion Holdings (energy), coupled with an investment in Daesang (consumer staples), were the biggest individual detractors.

For the period, the Fund generated the following returns by unit class: -5.86% for Class A Units, -6.34% for Class B Units, -5.96% for Class C Units, -5.19% for Class I Units, -23.66% (-6.25% in euro terms) for Class M Units, and -13.25% (-5.51% in sterling terms) for Class T Units, all at net asset value (NAV, or without sales charges). The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All-Country Pacific ex. Japan Index (ND), declined -1.04%, in U.S. dollar terms.

At year end, we continued to closely monitor both the macro- and microeconomic issues affecting the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in China. China’s economic slowdown and its various market bubbles - in real estate, stocks and the so-called “shadow” banking system - have the power to create a vortex of problems throughout Asian emerging markets.

To us, the Chinese stock market appeared to be in unsustainable overdrive through early June. Worryingly, government stimulus and exuberant retail investors converged to help drive the market to unwarranted high levels. Our concern was validated shortly after the year end, as the Chinese stock market went into free fall, losing more than a quarter of its value in less than a month, until the government’s efforts to stop the sell-off appeared to help the market reverse course - at least for now.

Elsewhere in emerging markets (“EM”), there was disappointment. Some EM countries apparently have missed their moment to make structural economic change a reality. Indonesia, for example, has made surprisingly little economic progress, despite the new president’s ambitious reform agenda. Countries such as Indonesia, as well as other developing nations, require foreign capital to fund themselves. Such capital arrived in force when the U.S. dollar was weak and bond yields were attractive. But now, dollar strength and widespread expectations for higher interest rates have stimulated a flight of foreign capital out of emerging markets, requiring painful economic adjustments for countries in this group.

Putnam Emerging Markets Equity Fund For the 12 months ended 30 June 2015, most of the Fund’s unit classes trailed its benchmark, dampened by adverse country allocations. U.S. dollar strength during much of the year hampered the Fund’s dollar-based returns. Stock selection and sector positioning aided the Fund’s relative performance.

From a country perspective, overweight allocations in Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey worked against performance, although this impact was partially offset by a beneficial overweight in China and lighter-than-benchmark exposure to Malaysia and Qatar. On a sector basis, lighter-than-benchmark allocations in materials and energy were the largest contributors. Conversely, an overweight in consumer discretionary and an underweight in consumer staples dampened the overall positive contribution from sector positioning. Stock picks in information technology added the most value, while selections in energy detracted.

Top individual contributors to relative performance included out-of-benchmark investments in Cuckoo Electronics (consumer discretionary) and Net 1 UEPS Technologies (information technology), along with an overweight position in China Railway (industrials). On the downside, non-benchmark holdings of Mota-Engil (industrials) and Genel Energy (energy), as well as an overweight in Estacio Participacoes (consumer discretionary), were the primary detractors.

For the year, the Fund generated the following returns by unit class: -5.23% for Class A Units, -5.65% for Class B Units, -5.23% for Class C Units, -4.32% for Class I Units, -23.07% (-5.44% in euro terms) for Class M Units, and -12.72% (-4.94% in sterling terms) for Class T Units, all at net asset value (NAV, or without sales charges). The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (ND), declined -5.12% in U.S. dollar terms.

At year end, we continued to closely monitor both the macro- and microeconomic issues affecting the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in China.

Putnam Global Core Equity Fund For the 12 months ended 30 June 2015, the Fund lagged its benchmark in both U.S. dollar and local-currency terms. U.S. dollar strength during much of the period hampered the Fund’s dollar-based returns. Security selection and country allocations detracted from relative results, while sector positioning aided performance versus the benchmark.

From a country perspective, exposure to Portugal, Indonesia and the United Kingdom hampered performance, while allocations in Ireland, Canada and the Netherlands contributed. On a sector basis, lighter-than-benchmark exposure to the lagging energy group, along with an overweighting in consumer discretionary, provided the biggest boost to performance. Stock picks in consumer staples, health care, telecommunication services and materials aided the Fund’s return, but weak selections in information technology and consumer discretionary more than offset this positive result.

Top individual contributors included Coty and Japan Tobacco (consumer staples), Valeant Pharmaceuticals and Impax Laboratories (health care), Bharti Infratel (telecom services), and Sealed Air (materials). On the downside, the biggest individual detractors were Micron Technology and Google (technology), along with Global Mediacom and G8 Education (consumer discretionary). Not holding smartphone and computer giant Apple also weighed on the Fund’s relative performance.

For the year, the Fund generated the following returns by unit class: -0.35% for Class A Units, -0.87% for Class B Units, -0.50% for Class C Units, 0.38% for Class I Units, -19.12% (-0.60% in euro terms) for Class M Units, and -8.38% (-0.22% in sterling terms) for Class T Units, all at net asset value (NAV, or without sales charges). The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI World Index (ND), rose 1.43%, in U.S. dollar terms.

As the annual reporting year came to a close, the global economic expansion remained sluggish, but better conditions in several major developed economies suggested a modestly improving outlook. U.S. growth appeared to rebound in the second quarter following a disappointing first quarter, and the U.S. economy remains solidly in midcycle expansion phase, in our view. Europe, meanwhile, looked as if it had emerged from its 2014 slowdown into a broader midcycle expansion, supported by favourable credit conditions, pent-up household demand and accommodative monetary policy. Greece represents a near-term risk, but Europe’s modest banking exposure to Greece, the European Central Bank’s sizable liquidity program and stable yield spreads on bonds issued by peripheral eurozone countries suggest contagion is unlikely to derail Europe’s expansion.

Overall, we have a generally optimistic outlook for stocks globally, assuming second- and third-quarter earnings meet investors’ reduced expectations. We also believe the resurgence in mergers and acquisitions across multiple industry groups may continue to be a meaningful driver for stock performance. From a valuation perspective, at year end we believed stocks were attractively valued versus bonds, based on measures such as historical price/earnings ratios for stocks compared with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield. As a result, we think stocks may offer the potential for further multiple expansion in the months ahead.

Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2* For the twelve months ended 30 June 2015, the Fund underperformed its benchmark in local-currency terms. The Fund's Class S Units were up 0.55% at net asset value (NAV, or without sales charges), and the Fund's benchmark, the 6-Month LIBOR Index, gained 0.70%.

Our active currency strategies were the leading contributor for the period. Short positions in the euro and the Japanese yen, particularly during the first half of the period, were especially beneficial as the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to both.

Mortgage credit investments also aided the Fund’s performance, specifically positions in subordinated mezzanine commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). These securities benefited from supportive commercial real estate fundamentals amid a generally favourable U.S. economic backdrop, along with persistent investor demand for higher-yielding bonds.

Our prepayment strategies, which we implemented primarily with interest-only (IO) collateralised mortgage obligations (CMOs), provided a further boost to the Fund’s return. Although rates ended the period lower on some parts of the yield curve, refinancing activity remained subdued. As a result, mortgage prepayment speeds continued to be relatively slow, providing a tailwind for our IO CMO positions.

Our investments in emerging-markets debt, specifically U.S. dollar-denominated holdings in Argentina, also modestly contributed. Prices of Argentine debt rose over the period, as the market appeared to price in a benign outcome in the nation’s standoff with the holdout creditors.

Interest-rate and yield-curve strategies served as the sole detractor from performance during the period. The Fund was positioned for a rising-rate environment in the United States, resulting in an overall duration - a key measure of interest-rate sensitivity - that was modestly negative on a net basis. However, with rates generally declining on the intermediate to long end of the curve during the period, this positioning hampered the Fund’s results. Outside the United States, positions in Greece and Germany both detracted, as yields rose across both core and peripheral Europe, and the political uncertainty in Greece came to a tipping point.

We believe U.S. economic growth will continue to be solid for the rest of 2015, given improving trends in employment and a pickup in consumer and business spending. Accordingly, we think the Federal Reserve (“the Fed”) will begin to raise short-term interest rates by the end of 2015. Although signs in the labour market have been positive, the Fed is cautious of hiking too early, particularly given that U.S. inflation continues to be below the central bank’s stated target of 2%.

* Effective 1 September 2015, the Fund's name changed to Putnam Fixed Income Global Alpha Fund.

As for portfolio positioning, we currently plan to maintain our diversified mortgage, corporate and sovereign credit exposure primarily through allocations to mezzanine CMBS, high-yield bonds and peripheral European sovereign bonds, respectively. We also find prepayment risk attractive, given the potential for higher interest rates amid a strengthening U.S. economy. As a result, we will continue our efforts to try to capitalise on anticipated slower prepayment speeds via allocations to IO CMOs.

Putnam Global High Yield Bond Fund For the 12 months ended 30 June 2015, the Fund lagged its benchmark in both U.S. dollar and local-currency terms. U.S. dollar strength during much of the year hampered the Fund’s dollar-based returns. At the sector/industry level, an underweight in metals/mining, along with favourable overall positioning in housing and financials, bolstered the Fund’s relative return. Conversely, adverse positioning in energy, retail and cable/satellite hampered the Fund’s performance versus the benchmark. Additionally, having lighter-than-benchmark exposure to higher-quality Ba-rated securities - which outperformed B-rated and Caa-rated bonds during the year - also worked against the Fund’s relative performance.

In terms of individual holdings, top contributors included underweights in telecommunication services provider Telecom Italia, coal miner Peabody Energy, and casino and resort operator Caesars Entertainment, the latter of which filed for bankruptcy protection during the period. On the downside, the primary detractors were United Kingdom-based mobile phone retailer Phones4U, along with positions in several energy exploration and production companies: Paragon Offshore, Milagro Oil & Gas and Vantage Drilling. Milagro filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy shortly after the year end.

For the year, the Fund generated the following returns by unit class: -1.62% for Class A Units, -2.14% for Class B Units, -2.09% for Class C Units, -19.85% (-1.54% in euro terms) for Class E Units, -1.06% for Class I Units, and -8.80% (-0.46% in sterling terms) for Class S Units, all at net asset value (NAV, or without sales charges). The Fund’s benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Investment Grade Country Constrained Index (100% USD Hedged), rose 0.18% in U.S. dollar terms.

As the annual reporting year came to a close, the global economic expansion remained sluggish, but better conditions in several major developed economies suggested a modestly improving outlook. U.S. growth appeared to rebound in the second quarter following a disappointing first quarter, and the U.S. economy remains solidly in midcycle expansion phase, in our view. Europe, meanwhile, looked as if it had emerged from its 2014 slowdown into a broader midcycle expansion, supported by favourable credit conditions, pent-up household demand and accommodative monetary policy. Greece represents a near-term risk, but Europe’s modest banking exposure to Greece, the European Central Bank’s sizable liquidity program and stable yield spreads on bonds issued by peripheral eurozone countries suggest contagion is unlikely to derail Europe’s expansion.

As for end-of-year portfolio positioning, the Fund was broadly diversified across market sectors, and the majority of our holdings were in mid-tier split Ba-rated or B-rated bonds. From a sector/industry perspective, we favoured telecommunications, gaming/lodging/leisure, financials, utilities, and housing.

Conversely, we maintained underweights in energy, technology, metals/mining, food/beverage, transportation, and consumer products. To compensate for marketplace liquidity constraints, as well as potentially higher U.S. interest rates, we increased the portfolio’s cash allocation, and planned to keep its interest-rate sensitivity slightly below that of the benchmark.

Putnam Total Return Fund For the 12 months ended 30 June 2015, the Fund trailed its cash benchmark in U.S. dollar and local-currency terms, outpaced its strategic policy portfolio (-6.45%), and posted mixed results versus its global 60/40 benchmark (-2.80%). Relative to the policy portfolio, active execution and dynamic asset allocation added value for the period. U.S. dollar strength during much of the year hampered the Fund’s dollar-based returns.

Within the portfolio, dynamic asset allocation was bolstered by an underweight in commodities, which was one of the worst-performing asset classes during the past 12 months. Our U.S. equity overweight was also a major contributor, as both large- and small-cap stocks generally performed well during the year. Conversely, a lighter-than-benchmark stake in U.S. investment-grade bonds, along with overall positioning in U.S. Treasuries, notably detracted from the Fund’s allocation strategy.

Active execution was also positive during the year. The primary contributors versus the policy portfolio were tactical foreign-exchange hedging, several strategic global macro positions and security selection within commodities. Stock picks in U.S. large-cap shares were a slight detractor, and marginally dampened the overall constructive impact of our active execution strategies.

For the year, the Fund generated the following returns by unit class: -2.57% for Class A Units, -3.08% for Class B Units, -2.80% for Class C Units, -1.97% for Class I Units, -20.59% (-2.43% in euro terms) for Class E Units, -21.08% (-3.12% in euro terms) for Class M Units, and -9.71% (-1.48% in sterling terms) for Class S Units, all at net asset value (NAV, or without sales charges). Class E2 Units launched on 16 March 2015. For the period since its launch, the unit class returned 6.97% (0.60% in euro terms) at NAV. The Fund’s cash benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-Month USD LIBOR Index, gained 0.17%.

U.S. economic growth appeared to rebound in the second quarter following a disappointing first quarter, and we believe U.S. gross domestic product may grow at a 2.5% to 3% annual rate in the months to come.

The Federal Reserve has indicated that it no longer wishes to give specific guidance on the timing of policy changes and has instead described its approach as being “data dependent.” With the U.S. economy appearing to be back on track and core inflation showing signs of re-emerging, we think it’s likely that the central bank may implement its first rate increase in September. If the economy continues on a trajectory broadly similar to what we expect, we believe the Fed could hike rates again before the next year-end. While this is our current view, there are possible factors that could cause the Fed to delay, such as renewed dollar strength, coupled with volatility in Europe and Asia. In any event, when the Fed does begin raising rates, we think it will proceed cautiously in an effort to avoid stoking excessive volatility in the financial markets.

As of year end, we were somewhat more cautious in our outlook for equities. U.S. stock valuations were slightly above longer-term normalised levels, which may temper gains in the months ahead. That said, we think equities still appear attractive relative to U.S. Treasuries and other investment-grade bonds, and they could continue to advance despite elevated valuations.

Elsewhere, we had a more constructive outlook for high-yield bonds. Yields over Treasuries in the asset class had widened to attractive levels over cash, and flows into high-yield mutual funds had stabilised, helping to bolster the category’s technical backdrop.

Putnam U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund For the 12 months ended 30 June 2015, the Fund lagged its benchmark in both U.S. dollar and local-currency terms. U.S. dollar strength during much of the year hampered the Fund’s dollar-based returns. Relative to the benchmark, security selection and currency exposure hampered the Fund’s performance, as did a small cash stake in a rising market. Overall sector positioning aided performance versus the benchmark.

Stock picks in information technology were the primary detractors, followed by selections in energy, materials and consumer discretionary. On the plus side, stock choices in consumer staples, financials and telecommunication services helped the Fund’s relative return. From a sector perspective, an overweight in the strong-performing health care group provided the biggest boost, while a small overweight in the lagging energy category was the principal detractor.

In terms of individual holdings, top contributors included overweights in biotechnology company Gilead Sciences and pharmacy operator CVS Health, along with pharmaceutical firms Allergan and Cubist Pharmaceuticals. Avoiding index heavyweight and technology giant IBM also proved advantageous. Cubist Pharmaceuticals was acquired by Merck in January 2015. On the downside, overweights in semiconductor manufacturer Micron Technology, oil services provider Halliburton and Internet services titan Google dampened relative performance, as did an out-of-benchmark position in Melco Crown Entertainment, which owns casino and resort facilities in Asia.

For the year, the Fund generated the following returns by unit class: 6.09% for Class A Units and -13.79% (5.90% in euro terms) for Class M Units. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index gained 10.56% in U.S. dollar terms.

Much of 2015 has been dominated by three key macroeconomic themes: the timing of an interest-rate increase by the Federal Reserve; the impact of Greece possibly exiting the European Union; and concern about why U.S. economic data has generally continued to fall short of expectations. Against this backdrop, we have seen flat to mildly negative corporate earnings revisions, a much stronger U.S. dollar, and elevated U.S. equity valuations. All told, it has not been an environment that is conducive to significant near-term equity gains, in our view. That said, if trends in employment and housing continue to improve, we believe U.S. stocks could generate modest gains, albeit with increased volatility. Within such an environment, stock selection backed by solid fundamental research is crucial. Additionally, it remains critical for us to stay focused on investing in companies benefiting from what we believe are durable growth themes, while selling or avoiding highly valued stocks of companies where we believe the thesis is changing and fundamentals are weakening.

At year end, the Fund’s largest overweights versus the benchmark were in energy, industrials and technology, while consumer staples was our largest underweight, followed by consumer discretionary.

Statement of Manager’s Responsibilities Report of the Trustee to the Unitholders

18 Putnam World Trust

The Manager is responsible for the preparation of financial statements, which give a true and fair view of the financial affairs of the Trust and of its results for the year. In preparing those financial statements the Manager is required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue in operation.

The Manager is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust and to enable it to ensure that the financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland and comply with the Trust Deed and the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011 (as amended) (the “Regulations”).

The measures taken by the Manager to secure compliance with the Trust’s obligations to keep proper accounting records are the use of appropriate systems and procedures and the employment of competent persons. To this end, the Directors of the Manager have appointed State Street Fund Services (Ireland) Limited for the purpose of maintaining proper accounting records.

The Manager is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information in relation to the Trust as included on the website, www.putnam.com/ucits. Legislation in Ireland governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The accounting records are kept at 78 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland. The Manager is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust. In this regard it has entrusted the assets of the Trust to a Trustee for safekeeping in accordance with the Trust Deed. The Manager is also responsible for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud, error and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

The Directors of the Manager adopted the Irish Funds Industry Corporate Governance Code for collective investment schemes and management companies on 14 November 2012 with effect from 31 December 2012. The Fund has been in compliance with the Code throughout the duration of the year ended 30 June 2015.

Connected Party Transactions The Central Bank of Ireland UCITS Notices, UCITS 14.5 – ‘Dealings by promoter, manager, trustee, investment adviser and group companies’ states in paragraph one that any transaction carried out with a UCITS by a promoter, manager, trustee, investment adviser and/or associated or group companies of these (“connected parties”) must be carried out as if negotiated at arm’s length. Transactions must be in the best interests of the unitholders.

The Board of Directors of the Manager are satisfied that there are arrangements (evidenced by written procedures) in place, to ensure that the obligations set out in paragraph one of UCITS 14.5 are applied to all transactions with connected parties; and the Board is satisfied that transactions with connected parties entered into during the year complied with the obligations set out in this paragraph.

On behalf of the Manager:

14 October 2015

We have enquired into the conduct of the Manager in respect of Putnam World Trust (the “Trust”) for the year ended 30 June 2015, in our capacity as Trustee to the Trust. This report including the opinion has been prepared for and solely for the Unitholders in the Trust as a body, in accordance with the Central Bank’s UCITS Notice 4 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown.

Responsibilities of the Trustee Our duties and responsibilities are outlined in the Central Bank’s UCITS Notice 4. One of those duties is to enquire into the conduct of the Trust in each annual accounting year and report thereon to the Unitholders.

Our report shall state whether, in our opinion, the Trust has been managed in that year in accordance with the provisions of the Trust’s Trust Deed and the Regulations. It is the overall responsibility of the Manager to comply with these provisions. If the Manager has not so complied, we as Trustee must state why this is the case and outline the steps which we have taken to rectify the situation.

Basis of Trustee Opinion The Trustee conducts such reviews as it, in its reasonable opinion, considers necessary in order to comply with its duties as outlined in UCITS Notice 4 and to ensure that, in all material respects, the Trust has been managed: (i) in accordance with the limitations imposed on its investment and borrowing powers by the provisions of its constitutional documentation and the appropriate regulations; and (ii) otherwise in accordance with the Trust’s constitutional documentation and the appropriate regulations.

Opinion In our opinion, the Trust has been managed during the year, in all material respects:

(i) in accordance with the limitations imposed on the investment and borrowing powers of the Manager and the Trustee by the Trust Deed and by the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment In Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011 (as amended) (the “Regulations”); and

(ii) otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed and the Regulations.

Independent Auditors’ Report

20 Putnam World Trust

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Unitholders of Putnam World Trust (the “Trust”) Our Opinion In our opinion, Putnam World Trust’s financial statements (the “financial statements”):

give a true and fair view of the funds’ assets, liabilities and financial position as at 30 June 2015 and of their results for the year then ended;

have been properly prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland; and

have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011 (as amended).

What we have audited

The financial statements comprise:

the balance sheet as at 30 June 2015;

the profit and loss account for the year then ended;

the statement of changes in net assets attributable to redeemable participating unitholders for the year then ended;

the schedule of investments for each of the Funds as at 30 June 2015; and

the notes to the financial statements for each of its Funds which include a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the financial statements is Irish law and accounting standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council and promulgated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland).

In applying the financial reporting framework, the Manager has made a number of subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. In making such estimates, the manager has made assumptions and considered future events.

Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit Our responsibilities and those of the Manager As explained more fully in the Statement of Manager’s Responsibilities set out on page 18, the Manager is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements giving a true and fair view.

Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with Irish law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.

This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the unitholders of each of the funds as a body and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

What an audit of financial statements involves We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of:

whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the funds’ circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed;

the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the manager; and

the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We primarily focus our work in these areas by assessing the manager’s judgements against available evidence, forming our own judgements, and evaluating the disclosures in the financial statements.

We test and examine information, using sampling and other auditing techniques, to the extent we consider necessary to provide a reasonable basis for us to draw conclusions. We obtain audit evidence through testing the effectiveness of controls, substantive procedures or a combination of both.

In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Independent Auditors’ Report

Putnam World Trust 21

To the Unitholders of the Funds of Putnam World Trust We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Putnam World Trust (the “Trust”), which comprise the balance sheet, including the schedule of investments, as of 30 June 2015 and the related profit and loss account and statement of changes in net assets attributable to redeemable participating unitholders for the year then ended. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Trust’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Putnam World Trust at 30 June 2015, and the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland.

1. Basis of Presentation

i) Basis of accounting The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified to include investments at fair value by the revaluation of financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss. These policies have been applied consistently to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland and in accordance with the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011 (as amended). Accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland in preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view are those issued by the Financial Reporting Council ("FRC") and promulgated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland.

The Trust has availed of the exemption available to open-ended investment funds under Financial Reporting Standard No. 1 (Revised) “Cash Flow Statement” not to prepare a cash flow statement.

ii) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

Management makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below.

Fair value of financial instruments The Trust may, from time to time, hold financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets, such as securities which are valued using prices sourced from a broker, and over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives. The fair value of such instruments is determined using valuation techniques. Where valuation techniques are used to determine fair value they are validated and periodically reviewed by experienced personnel at Putnam Investments (Ireland) Limited (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, independent of the party that created them. The prices used at the year end which have been sourced from a single broker source are the best estimates of fair value as at the year end date. However, there is a degree of uncertainty in respect of these prices. It may not always be possible to close out the positions at the stated mark with the given counterparty. The Directors believe that the values arrived at are reasonable and prudent, however actual results may differ from these estimates and the differences could be material.

Certain investments, including certain restricted and illiquid securities and derivatives, are also valued at fair value following procedures approved by the Investment Manager. These valuations consider such factors as significant market or specific security events such as interest rate or credit quality changes, various relationships with other securities, discount rates, U.S. Treasury, U.S. swap and credit yields, index levels, convexity exposures, recovery rates, sales and other multiples and resale restrictions.

All the Trust’s financial assets and financial liabilities are held for the purpose of being traded.

Functional currency The Board of Directors of the Manager considers U.S. Dollars as the currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions for all Funds other than Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2. The U.S. Dollar is the currency in which each Fund (other than Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2) measures its performance and reports its results, as well as the currency in which it receives subscriptions from its investors. For Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2 the functional currency is Sterling. All of the investors in Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2 are residents of the United Kingdom, therefore the Board of Directors of the Manager considers Sterling as the currency that most faithfully represents this Fund.

2. Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies adopted by the Trust are as follows:

A) Investments i) Valuation of Investments

Investments are reported at fair value. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and trading securities) is based on bid prices for long positions and offer prices for short positions at the Balance Sheet date. Where any of the investments are not listed on Recognised Stock Exchanges or traded on regulated markets and a quotation from an independent pricing service is not available, such securities shall be valued at their probable realisation value as determined by the Manager or its delegate, each of them being approved by the Trustee as a competent person for such purpose. Securities valued following procedures approved by the Investment Advisor are indicated by “F” in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. The total fair value of securities valued following procedures approved by the Investment Advisor for each Fund is listed below. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued basis may be settled at a future date beyond customary settlement date.

2. Accounting Policies cont.

A) Investments cont. i) Valuation of Investments cont.

Classification The Trust classifies its investments in debt and equity securities, and related derivatives, as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These financial assets and financial liabilities are classified as held for trading or designated by the Trust’s Manager at fair value through profit or loss at inception.

Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception are those that are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Trust’s documented investment strategy. The Trust’s policy is for the Investment Advisor to evaluate the information about these financial assets on a fair value basis together with other related financial information.

Fair value estimation The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based upon market prices at the Balance Sheet date. When the Trust holds derivatives with offsetting market risks, it uses mid-market prices as a basis for establishing fair values for the offsetting risk positions and applies this mid-price to the net open position, as appropriate.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Trust uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each Balance Sheet date. Valuation techniques used include the use of comparable recent arm’s length transactions, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants.

Certain securities may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a single broker. Single broker priced securities are highlighted in the Schedule of Investments by the † symbol. Some Funds may invest in securities with contractual cash flows, such as asset-backed securities, collateralised mortgage obligations and commercial mortgage backed securities, including securities backed by sub-prime mortgage loans. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate values, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.

Rights and Warrants Rights and warrants contracts are options to purchase additional securities from the issuer at a specified price during a specified year. Rights and warrants are sometimes used to gain exposure to emerging market equities where custody, liquidity, or other issues make ownership of local shares sub-optimal.

The valuation of the rights and warrants depends on the level of trading. If the rights and warrants are actively traded in the market then the market price is used. If the rights and warrants are not actively traded in the market then either the intrinsic value of the right/warrant based on underlying equity price and right/warrant strike price or modified Black-Scholes derived value, adjusted for liquidity or other risks deemed appropriate are used. Premiums paid on rights which expired or were unexercised are recognised on the expiry date as realised gains or losses in the Profit and Loss Account. If a right is exercised, the premium paid is included with the cost of the transaction to determine whether the Fund has realised a gain or loss on the related investment transaction.

Futures Futures contracts are valued at the quoted daily settlement prices established by the exchange on which they trade. The Funds and the broker agree to exchange an amount of cash based on the daily fluctuation in the value of the futures contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin”. For open futures, changes in the value of the contract are recognised as unrealised profits or losses by “marking-to-market” the value of the contract at the Balance Sheet date. Unrealised gains or losses on open futures contracts are shown in the Schedules of Investments of each relevant Fund and as appropriate, on the Balance Sheet as part of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

Options Contracts The potential risk to the Funds is that the change in value of options contracts may not correspond to the change in value of the hedged instruments. In addition, losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, if interest or exchange rates move unexpectedly or if the counterparty to the contract is unable to perform. Realised gains and losses on purchased options are included on the Funds’ Balance Sheet. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction to the cost of investments.

Exchange traded options are valued at the last sale price or, if no sales are reported, the last bid price for purchased options and the last ask price for written options. OTC traded options are valued using prices supplied by dealers.

A) Investments cont. i) Valuation of Investments cont.

Options Contracts cont. Options on swaps are similar to options on securities except that the premium paid or received is to buy or grant the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate or credit default contract. Forward premium swap option contracts include premiums that have extended settlement dates. The delayed settlement of the premiums is factored into the daily valuation of the option contracts. In the case of interest rate cap and floor contracts, in return for a premium, ongoing payments between two parties are based on interest rates exceeding a specified rate, in the case of a cap contract, or falling below a specified rate in the case of a floor contract.

Total Return Swap Contracts The Funds may enter into OTC total return swap contracts, which are arrangements between two parties to exchange a market linked return for a periodic payment, both based on a notional principal amount to help enhance the Funds’ return and manage the Funds’ exposure to risk. To the extent that the total return of the security, index or other financial measure underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Funds will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. OTC total return swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealised gain or loss. Payments received or made are recorded as realised gains or losses. Certain OTC total return swap contracts may include extended effective dates, and are indicated by “E” in the Schedule of Investments. Payments related to these swap contracts are accrued based on the terms of the contract.

The Funds could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavourable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or in the price of the underlying security or index, the possibility that there is no liquid market for these agreements or that the counterparty may default on its obligation to perform. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk is the fair value of the contract. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognised on the Balance Sheet.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts The Funds may enter into OTC and/or centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts, which are arrangements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount, to manage the Funds’ exposure to interest rates. An OTC and centrally cleared interest rate swap can be purchased or sold with an upfront premium. For OTC interest rate swap contracts, an upfront payment paid/(received) by the Funds is recorded as an asset/(liability) on the Funds’ books. OTC and centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers. Any change is recorded as an unrealised gain or loss on OTC interest rate swaps. Daily fluctuations in the value of centrally cleared interest rate swaps are settled through a central clearing agent and are recorded as part of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the Balance Sheet and recorded as unrealised gain or loss. Payments, including upfront premiums, received or made are recorded as realised gains or losses at the reset date or the closing of the contract. Certain OTC and centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts may include extended effective dates, and are indicated by "E" in the Schedule of Investments. Payments related to these swap contracts are accrued based on the terms of the contract.

The Funds could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavourable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or if the counterparty defaults, in the case of OTC interest rate contracts, or the central clearing agency or a clearing member defaults, in the case of centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts, on its respective obligation to perform under the contract. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk or central clearing risk is the fair value of the contract. This risk may be mitigated for OTC interest rate swap contracts by having a master netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty and for centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts through the daily exchange of variation margin. There is minimal counterparty risk with respect to centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts due to the clearinghouse guarantee fund and other resources that are available in the event of a clearing member default. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognised on the Balance Sheet.

Credit Default Contracts The Funds may enter into OTC and/or centrally cleared credit default contracts to provide a measure of protection against risk of loss following a default, or other credit event in respect of issuers within an underlying index or a single issuer, or to gain credit exposure to an underlying index or issuer. In OTC and centrally cleared credit default contract, the protection buyer typically makes a periodic stream of payments to a counterparty, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a credit event on the reference obligation or all other equally ranked obligations of the reference entity. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. For OTC credit default contracts, an upfront payment received by a Fund is recorded as a liability on the Funds' books. An upfront payment made by a Fund is recorded as an asset on the Funds’ books. Upfront and periodic payments received or paid by the Funds for OTC and centrally cleared credit default contracts are recorded as realised gains or losses at the reset date or close of the contract. Centrally cleared credit default contracts provide the same rights to the protection buyer and seller except the payments between parties are settled through a central clearing agent through variation margin payments. The OTC and centrally cleared credit default contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers. Any change in value of OTC credit default contracts is recorded as an unrealised gain or loss. Daily fluctuations in the value of centrally cleared credit default contracts are recorded in variation margin on the Balance Sheet and recorded as unrealised gain or loss. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the difference between the par value and market value of the reference obligation, net of any proportional amount of the upfront payment, is recorded as a realised gain or loss.

A) Investments cont. i) Valuation of Investments cont.

Credit Default Contracts cont. In addition to bearing the risk that the credit event will occur, the Funds could be exposed to market risk due to unfavorable changes in interest rates or in the price of the underlying security or index or the possibility that a Fund may be unable to close out its position at the same time or at the same price as if it had purchased the underlying reference obligations. In certain circumstances, the Funds may enter into offsetting OTC and centrally cleared credit default contracts which would mitigate its risk of loss. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognised on the Balance Sheet. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. This risk may be mitigated for the OTC credit default contracts by having a master netting arrangement between that Fund and the counterparty and for centrally cleared credit default contracts through the daily exchange of variation margin. Counterparty risk is further mitigated with respect to centrally cleared credit default contracts due to the clearing house guarantee fund and other resources that are available in the event of a clearing member default. Where a Fund is a seller of protection, the maximum potential amount of future payments the Funds may be required to make is equal to the notional amount.

When-Issued Securities (“WIS”) The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis for the purposes of hedging and investment purposes. In this instance payment for and delivery of securities take place in the future at a stated price in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield to the Fund at the time of entering into the transaction. Securities are considered “delayed delivery” securities when traded in the secondary market, or “when-issued” securities if they are an initial issuance of securities. Delayed delivery securities (which will not begin to accrue interest until the settlement date) and when-issued securities will be recorded as assets of the Fund and will be subject to risks of market value fluctuations. The purchase price of delayed delivery and when-issued securities will be recorded as a liability of the Fund until settlement date and, when issued or delivered as the case may be, such securities will be taken into account when calculating the investment restrictions limits. To Be Announced (“TBA”) Commitments The Funds may enter into TBA commitments to purchase securities for a fixed unit price at a future date beyond customary settlement time. Although the unit price and par amount have been established, the actual securities have not been specified. However, it is anticipated that the amount of the commitments will not significantly differ from the principal amount. The Funds hold, and maintain until settlement date, cash or high-grade debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price, or the Funds may enter into offsetting contracts for the forward sale of other securities it owns. Income on the securities will not be earned until settlement date.

The Funds may also enter into TBA sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as “cover” for the transaction. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting TBA purchase commitment, the Funds realise a gain or loss. If the Funds deliver securities under the commitment, the Funds realise a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.

TBA commitments, which are accounted for as purchase and sale transactions, may be considered securities themselves, and involve a risk of loss due to changes in the value of the security prior to the settlement date as well as the risk that the counterparty to the transaction will not perform. Counterparty risk is mitigated by having a master agreement between the Funds and the counterparty.

Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at their fair value. The contract is marked to market daily and the change in fair value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealised gain or loss. Based on market circumstances, the Manager will determine whether to take delivery of the underlying securities or to dispose of the TBA commitments prior to settlement.

Repurchase Agreements Securities purchased under agreements to resell are valued at notional value plus accrued interest. Interest rates vary for each repurchase agreement and are set at the initiation of the agreement. Interest earned under such agreements is accounted for on an accruals basis.

Investments in Investment Companies Investments in Investment Companies are valued using the latest fair value at the latest available unaudited Net Asset Value for the shares obtained from the relevant administrator unless, in the Manager’s reasonable opinion, there are reasons to justify departing temporarily or permanently from that price. Such reasons may, without limitation include those associated with the liquidity and/or the pricing methodology being employed by such investment companies. The changes in the daily Net Asset Value of these shares is recognised as part of “Net realised and Net unrealised gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss” as part of the Profit and Loss Account.

Cash and Other Liquid Assets Cash comprises current deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. All Cash at Bank is held with State Street Bank and Trust Company.

Cash and other liquid assets will be valued at their face value with interest accrued, where applicable.

i) Valuation of Investments cont.

Accounting for Investments Recognition/derecognition Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the day the transaction takes place (the trade date). Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the Trust has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed in the Profit and Loss Account. Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value in accordance with the policies above. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss category are presented in the Profit and Loss Account in the year in which they arise.

Classification The Funds classify their investments as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss under FRS 26.

Net Gains/(Losses) on Investment Activities In respect of each instrument type classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, the movement in unrealised gains/(losses) since the prior year end and realised gains/(losses) are included in net realised and unrealised gains/ (losses) on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

Realised gains and losses on investment transactions are calculated using the average cost method.

Collateral The Funds’ assets may be pledged as collateral to, and held by the counterparty and brokers for open futures and swap contracts. The Funds may also receive securities pledged as collateral from counterparties and brokers for open futures and swap contracts. As at 30 June 2015, the fair value of securities received by the Funds as collateral are as follows: Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2 GBP 2,783,571 (30 June 2014 GBP 2,176,987), Putnam Global High Yield Bond Fund USD 2,606,193 (30 June 2014 USD 1,382,205), Putnam Total Return Fund USD 252,213 (30 June 2014 USD 2,467,447) and Putnam U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund USD 465,346 (30 June 2014: USD Nil). Collateral is recognised on the date the relevant Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions.

Cash collateral provided by a Fund is identified in the Balance Sheet as due to/from broker for margin and is not included as a component of cash and cash equivalents. Cash collateral received by a Fund is identified in the Balance Sheet as broker cash held as collateral for financial derivative instruments. The obligation to return the cash collateral is identified in the Balance Sheet as broker cash due to counterparties for financial derivative instruments transactions. For collateral other than cash, if the party to whom the collateral is provided has the right by contract or custom to sell or re-pledge the collateral, the Fund classifies that asset in its Balance Sheet separately from other assets and identifies the asset as pledged collateral. Where the party to whom the collateral is provided does not have the right to sell or re-pledge, a disclosure of the collateral provided is made in the notes to the financial statements.

B) Income and Expenses i) Dividend Income

Dividend income arising on the underlying equity investments of the Trust is credited to the Profit and Loss Account on the date on which the relevant securities are listed as “ex-dividend”. Income is accounted for gross of any non reclaimable/irrecoverable withholding taxes and net of any tax credits. The withholding tax is shown separately in the Profit and Loss Account.

ii) Bond Interest Bond interest is recognised as income of the Trust on an effective interest basis. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant year. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts throughout the expected life of the financial instrument, or a shorter period where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Trust estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider future credit losses.

iii) Interest Income Bank interest is recognised on an accruals basis.

iv) Capital Gains Tax The Trust currently incurs taxes imposed by certain countries on capital gains. Such gains are recorded gross of capital gains tax in the Profit and Loss Account. Capital gains tax, where it occurs, is shown as a separate item in the Profit and Loss Account. As at 30 June 2015, Putnam Emerging Markets Equity Fund was the only Fund to incur capital gains tax during the year.

v) Expenses Each Fund shall pay all of its expenses and such proportion of the Trust’s expenses which are allocated to that Fund based on the average Net Asset Value of the Fund when the expense is accrued. The costs and gains or (losses) of any currency hedging transactions will be attributable to the relevant Class in their entirety. To the extent that expenses are attributable entirely to a specific Class of a Fund, that Class shall bear such expenses. All expenses are accrued on a daily basis.

2. Accounting Policies cont.

B) Income and Expenses cont. vi) Transaction Costs

Transaction costs are defined as the incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or financial liability. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the entity had not acquired, issued or disposed of the financial instrument. When a financial asset or financial liability is recognised initially, an entity shall measure it at its fair value through profit or loss plus, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability.

Transaction costs on the purchase and sale of bonds, forwards, repurchase agreements, swaps and swaptions, are included in the purchase and sale price of the investment. They cannot be practically or reliably gathered as they are embedded in the cost of the investment and cannot be separately verified or disclosed.

Transaction costs on purchases and sales of equities, futures and options are included in net gains/(losses) on investments in the Profit and Loss Account for each Fund.

C) Foreign Exchange Translation i) Functional and Presentation Currency

Items included in each Fund’s financial statements are measured and reported using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (the “functional currency”). As stated in Note 1 (i), U.S. Dollars is the functional currency for each Fund of the Trust, other than Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2, whose functional currency is Sterling.

Assets and liabilities, including net assets attributable to redeemable participating unitholders, are translated at the closing rate at each Balance Sheet date. Exchange differences arising between the rate of translation of subscriptions and redemptions are also attributed to the redeemable participating Unitholders.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.

ii) Forward Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts The Trust may enter into various types of forward foreign exchange currency contracts including Euro and Sterling Class level hedging, foreign security hedging and security transaction level hedging. The unrealised gain or loss on open forward foreign exchange currency contracts is calculated by reference to the difference between the contracted rate and the rate to close out the contract. Realised gains or losses include net gains on contracts, which have been settled or offset by other contracts. For foreign security hedges and security transaction level hedges, realised and unrealised gains and losses are allocated at the Fund level. For Euro and Sterling Class level hedges, these realised and unrealised gains and losses are allocated solely to the Euro and Sterling Unit Classes. While the Trust will attempt to hedge against the U.S. Dollar to Euro and Sterling currency exposure, there can be no guarantee that the value of the Euro and Sterling Classes will not be affected by the value of the Euro and Sterling relative to the U.S. Dollar.

D) Redeemable Participating Units and Distributions Redeemable participating units are redeemable at the Unitholder’s option and are classified as financial liabilities. Distributions to redeemable participating unitholders are recognised as a finance cost in the Profit and Loss Account and are recognised on ex- date. The participating unit can be put back to the Trust at any time for cash equal to a proportionate share of the Trust’s Net Asset Value. The participating unit is carried at the redemption amount that is payable at the Balance Sheet date if the Unitholder exercised his/her right to put the unit back to the Trust.

Redeemable participating units are issued and redeemed at the unitholder’s option at prices based on a Fund’s Net Asset Value per unit at the time of issue or redemption. The Fund’s Net Asset Value per unit is calculated by dividing the net assets attributable to redeemable participating unitholders of each class of shares with the total number of outstanding shares for each respective class. In accordance with the provisions of the Trust’s Trust Deed, investment positions are valued based on the last traded market price (for listed equities), bid price (for fixed income securities), or settlement price for exchange traded and OTC derivatives, for the purpose of determining the Net Asset Value per unit for subscriptions and redemptions.

E) Other Receivables and Payables i) Receivables

Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Receivables are recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition origination.

ii) Payables Payables are recognised at fair value.

iii) Offsetting Financial Instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

F) Bank overdrafts Under the Trust Deed between the Manager and State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited, the custodian bank has a lien on the securities of each Fund to the extent permitted by that Fund’s investment restrictions to cover any advances made by the custodian bank for the settlement of securities purchased by the Fund. At the close of the reporting year, the payable to the custodian bank represents the amount due for cash advanced for the settlement of securities purchased.

3. Number of Units in Issue and Net Assets attributable to redeemable Participating Unitholders

Each of the units entitles the holder to participate equally on a pro rata basis in the profits and dividends of the Funds attributable to such Class of units and to attend and vote at meetings of the Fund represented by those units. No class of units confers on the holder thereof any preferential or pre-emptive rights or any rights to participate in the profits and dividends of any other class of units or any voting rights in relation to matters relating solely to any other class of units. Each unit represents an undivided beneficial interest in the relevant Fund.

The return on an investment in the Funds will depend solely upon the investment performance of the assets and liabilities in that Fund and the increase or decrease (as the case may be) in the Net Asset Value of the units. The amount payable to a unitholder in respect of each unit upon liquidation of the relevant Funds will equal the Net Asset Value per unit of that Fund.

In accordance with the provisions of the Trust’s Trust Deed, listed investments and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market makers are generally stated at the last traded price (for listed equities) or bid price (for fixed income securities) on the valuation day for the purpose of determining Net Asset Value per unit for subscriptions and redemptions and for various fee calculations.

However, as stated in note 2A(i), the accounting policy of the Funds for the purpose of compliance with FRS 26 is to value its investments at the relevant bid or offer market prices on the Balance Sheet date.

As at 30 June 2015, the difference between the valuation stated in the financial statements of investments and the valuation methodology indicated in the Trust’s Trust Deed is reflected as “adjustments from bid market value to last traded market value” in the Funds' respective Balance Sheets. Net assets attributable to Unitholders represent a liability on the Balance Sheet, carried at the redemption amount that would be payable at the Balance Sheet date if the Unitholder exercised the right to redeem his/her Units to the Trust. Consequently, the differences described above adjust the carrying amount of the net assets attributable to redeemable participating Unitholders and are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.

If the number of Units in a Fund falling to be redeemed on any Dealing Day is equal to 10% or more of the total number of Units in issue or deemed to be in issue in that Fund on such Dealing Day, the Manager may in its discretion refuse to redeem any Units in that Fund in excess of 10% of the total number of Units in issue or deemed to be in issue in that Fund as aforesaid and, if the Manager so refuses, upon notification to the relevant Unitholders, the requests for redemption of Units in that Fund on such Dealing Day shall be reduced rateably and the Units in that Fund to which each request relates which are not redeemed by reason of such refusal shall be treated as if a request for redemption had been made in respect of each subsequent Dealing Day until all the Units in that Fund to which the original request related have been redeemed provided, however, that the Manager may at its discretion, redeem in full the Units of smaller redemption requests (that represent 1% or less of Units in issue or deemed to be in issue) rather than including them in the pro rata calculation with the larger redemption requests received on such Dealing Day. Redemption requests will be dealt with fairly in accordance with the above.

The Manager may also apply a provision for market spreads and duties and charges in any other case where it considers such a provision to be in the best interests of a Fund. Any such sum will be paid into the account of the relevant Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the levy with respect to Putnam Global High Yield Bond Fund will not exceed 1% of the Net Asset Value of that Fund under normal market conditions.

Distributions Payable to Redeemable Participating Unitholders Proposed distributions to holders of redeemable units are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account when the Trust incurs a legal or constructive obligation to pay such a distribution. The distribution on these redeemable units is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account as a finance cost. Certain classes of the Funds were certified as reporting funds by HM Revenue & Customs in the UK for the year ending 30 June 2015. The Trust has been approved for the UK reporting regime for the year ended 30 June 2015. There was no change in the nature of the Trust’s business during the year.

During the year ended 30 June 2015, distributions of USD 17,705,425 were declared and paid from Putnam Global High Yield Bond Fund (year ended 30 June 2014: USD 15,304,074) and USD 1,739,238 from Putnam Total Return Fund (year ended 30 June 2014: USD 1,927,046). There were no distributions paid from any of the other Funds for the years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014.

As defined in FRS 29 Financial Instruments, risk can be separated into the following components: market risk (which includes market price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit or default risk. The Trust’s risk management process consists of a multi-layered and cross functional review that provides a system of checks and balances. The Investment Advisor performs reviews at least monthly and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below. The Board of Directors of the Manager of the Trust receives monthly reporting on risk matters and reviews the risk management process on an annual basis. These policies have remained substantially unchanged since the beginning of the year to which these financial statements relate.

A) Market Price Risk

Market price risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future prices of financial instruments held. It represents the potential loss the Trust might suffer through holding market positions in the face of price movements caused by factors specific to the individual investment or factors affecting all instruments traded in the market. The Investment Advisor considers the asset allocation of the portfolios in order to minimise the risk associated with particular countries or industry sectors whilst continuing to follow the Trust’s investment objectives.

The Investment Advisor measures both the Fund’s total risk as well as its risk of underperformance versus its stated benchmark (also referred to as active risk or tracking error “TE”).

The market risk exposure for each Fund as at 30 June 2015 is equivalent to the fair values of investments held, as reflected in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Aggregate Value at Risk The Funds use relative Value at Risk (“VaR”) as a risk measurement technique to measure, monitor and manage risks.

The VaR measure estimates the potential loss in pre-taxation profit over a given holding year for a specified confidence level. The VaR methodology is a statistically defined, probability-based approach that takes into account market volatilities as well as risk diversification by recognising offsetting positions and correlations between products and markets. Risks can be measured consistently across all markets and products, and risk measures can be aggregated to arrive at a single risk number.

Given the interdependencies between market variables, the Trust also estimates the VaR or threshold loss that is not expected to be exceeded at the 99th percentile confidence level over a 1-day horizon. The Investment Advisor uses a proprietary multi-factor model to estimate the total risk from which VaR estimates can be analytically derived. The VaR estimates presented below are point-in-time and vary over time as a function of market and portfolio composition changes.

Given its reliance on historical data, VaR is most effective in estimating risk exposures in markets in which there are no sudden fundamental changes or sudden shifts in market conditions. An inherent limitation of VaR is that the distribution of past changes in market risk factors may not produce accurate predictions of future risk. Different VaR methodologies and distributional assumptions could produce a materially different VaR. Moreover, VaR calculated for a one-day time horizon does not fully capture the market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or offset with hedges within one day. Changes in VaR between reporting years are generally due to changes in levels of exposure, volatilities and/or correlations among asset classes.

2014 55% 51% 54% 58% * VaR Utilisation = Portfolio VaR / Benchmark VaR / 2. Relative VaR utilisation measures the ratio of the Fund VaR and benchmark VaR to the relative VaR limit of 200%. Utilisation > 100% equates to breaking the limit. ** Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2 only reports its portfolio VaR. For this Fund VaR is tracked against a limit of 5% and uses a cash equivalent benchmark so the VaR ratio is not relevant. Leverage In accordance with ESMA Guidelines (CESR/10-788), each Fund's leverage during the year is calculated as the gross sum of the notionals of all the derivative instruments used by a Fund, with the sum expressed as a percentage of a Fund’s net assets. As a result of this calculation methodology, each Fund’s level of leverage as depicted by the figures below may be overstated and not representative of the actual exposure represented by the derivative positions in the Fund. The leverage figure calculated takes the absolute sum of long and short derivative positions and sums them. There is no reduction for offsetting or partial offsetting positions or even exposures to positions that have been closed or partially closed. For example, if a Fund opened a long Australian Dollar currency forward position against the British Pound for $1 million notional exposure (i.e., buying Australian Dollar, selling Pounds) and then later closed that position by executing the same trade in the offsetting direction (i.e., selling Australian Dollar, buying Pounds), these trades would count $2 million notional toward the sum despite that these positions have an economic exposure of 0. Another example of how this figure may overstate leverage is in interest rate hedging. If a Fund opens an interest rate swap position to pay on USD rates fixed versus floating for $1 million notional and then re-hedges that interest rate position by receiving on USD rates fixed versus floating for a $1 million notional, these trades would count $2 million notional toward the sum despite the fact that these positions have an economic exposure of 0.

The figures provided below are an average across the year and will vary from time to time. Fund Average % Average %

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The risk arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in which these are measured. A substantial proportion of each Fund’s assets are held in currencies other than the base currency with the result that the Funds’ Balance Sheets can be significantly affected by currency movements.

Certain Class level hedges as included in the analysis of the Portfolio of Investments are entered into in order to hedge the value of the Euro and Pound Sterling Hedge Classes, in the U.S. Dollar Funds.

C) Fair Valuation Hierarchy

FRS 29 requires the Trust to classify fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.

The fair value hierarchy of inputs is summarised in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at measurement date.

• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).

• Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

As at 30 June 2015, the Funds held five level 3 corporate bonds (CSMC Trust, Lone Pine Resources (Canada), MPM Escrow LLC, Station Place Securitization and Tiers Trust); ten level 3 equities (Global Fashion Company Gmbh (and three related positions), Delivery Hero Holdings Gmbh, Ion Media Networks Incorporated, Lone Pine Resources (two separate positions), Metro Bank PLC and Sound Global Limited); one level 3 preferred stock (Uber Technology Incorporated); and one level 3 warrant (Neuralstem Incorporated).

Putnam Asia Pacific (Ex-Japan) Equity Fund and Putnam Emerging Markets Equity Fund both held positions in Sound Global Limited, which has been valued at year end using a methodology approved by the Investment Adviser. This security halted trading on 17 March 2015 after announcing a delay in its earnings. The security was valued in line with the movement of its underlying Bond which continued to trade. The Bond was down 4.95% since the equity halted. The equity was valued at last closing price less 4.95% (HKD 7.00 less 4.95%, amounting to HKD 6.65 per share). It is anticipated that the security will be valued using this method as long it remains halted. The Investment Adviser will review regularly the appropriateness of this method.

C) Fair Valuation Hierarchy cont.

Putnam Global Core Equity Fund held positions in Metro Bank PLC (“Metro”) and Uber Technology Incorporated (“Uber”). Metro was valued using a 15% liquidity discount on the intrinsic value of GBP 17.75 per share. Based on an anticipated Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) in mid-2016 and other factors, Metro’s liquidity discount was reduced from 20% to 15%, resulting in a valuation of GBP 15.09 per share (GBP 17.75 Intrinsic Value less 15% liquidity discount). For Uber, the Investment Advisor approved a price of USD 29.9858 per share. This price represents purchase price (USD 33.3176) less a 10% liquidity discount.

Putnam U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund held positions in Global Fashion Company Gmbh (and three related spin-offs), Delivery Hero Holdings Gmbh and Neuralstem Incorporated. On 29 May 2015, the Investment Advisor recommended a fair valuation price of EUR 23.308 per share for Global Fashion Company, which represented an increase of 12.20% from the previous price of EUR 20.774. The liquidity discount recommendation remained at 25% due in part to the consent needed amongst all shareholders to sell the security and the length of time before it is anticipated the security may go public. The three other Global Fashion Company-related positions have been stale priced at year end and a nominal value of EUR 1.00 per share has been applied to all three positions, less a 25% liquidity discount. The Investment Adviser approved a price of EUR 6,159.411 for Delivery Hero. This price represents a 10% liquidity discount on the purchase price of EUR 6,843.79. The discount was added due to the anticipated length of time before the security may go public. From 6 January 2014, the Investment Adviser began fair valuing Neuralstem Incorporated warrants. These warrants are not traded on an exchange and are valued by the Investment Adviser at an intrinsic value using the current Bloomberg price of the underlying common stock less the strike price of USD 3.64 per share. Because the stock of the Company is trading at less than USD 3.64 per share, this has effectively meant that the warrant position has been valued at zero since 11 March 2015, the last time the Bloomberg price exceeded the strike price.

Putnam Global High Yield Bond Fund held positions in three Lone Pine Resources positions (one corporate bond and two equities), Ion Media Networks Incorporated and MPM Escrow LLC. The two Lone Pine Resources equity positions were valued at USD 0.04 per share to reflect the trade price of a sale of these positions on 25 July 2014. Ion Media Networks Incorporated was received as part of the exercise of Ion Media Warrants and was valued using a methodology approved by the Investment Adviser, and a 50% liquidity discount, at USD 180.00 per share. MPM Escrow LLC has been stale priced since 31 October 2014 and has been valued at a nominal price of USD 0.001 per share.

Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2 and Putnam Total Return Fund both held positions in the Tiers Trust corporate bond at 30 June 2015, which was classified at level 3 as the Investment Adviser could only establish a single price source at that date. The Investment Adviser expects this position to transfer back to level 2 once a second or subsequent price sources are established.

Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2 held a position in the CSMC Trust corporate bond at 30 June 2015, which was classified at level 3 as the Investment Adviser could only establish a single price source at that date. The Investment Adviser expects this position to transfer back to level 2 once a second or subsequent price sources are established.

Putnam Total Return Fund held a position in the Station Place Securitization corporate bond at 30 June 2015, which was classified at level 3 as the Investment Adviser could only establish a single price source at that date. The Investment Adviser expects this position to transfer back to level 2 once a second or subsequent price sources are established.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

The determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgement by the Investment Advisor. The Investment Advisor considers observable data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

Transfers between levels during the years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014 are outlined for each Fund, where applicable, underneath the relevant Fund's fair value hierarchy table. The following tables analyse within the fair value hierarchy each Fund's financial assets and financial liabilities (by security type) measured at fair value at 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014.

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and therefore classified within Level 1, include active listed equities, collective investment schemes, futures contracts, written equity options, purchased equity options, preferred stock, corporate bonds, purchased equity options, warrants and equities held short. The Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments.

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2. These include bonds, collective investment schemes, preferred stocks, short-term investments such as U.S. Treasury Bills, financial derivative instruments and Investment Technology Group Incorporated ("ITG") fair valued equities (the quoted market prices of Asian and European equities may be adjusted to reflect market movements between the close of the relevant exchange and the valuation point of the Funds, if market movements exceed a predefined threshold. Any such adjustments are based on adjustment factors provided by ITG). As Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.

Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently. The investments classified as Level 3 are made up of equity investments, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities. As observable prices are not available for these securities, the Funds have used valuation techniques to derive the fair value. The Trust uses internally developed models which are based on valuation methods and techniques generally recognised as standard within the industry. Such valuation methods and procedures are reviewed periodically by the Investment Manager.

D) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is defined as the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The risk arises on financial instruments whose fair value or future cash flows are affected by changes in interest rates. Short-term securities are less sensitive to interest rate changes than longer-term securities, but they also usually offer lower yields. The Funds invest in both fixed rate and floating rate securities.

Total net assets attributable to redeemable participating Unitholders at bid value 64,417,511 E) Liquidity Risk

This is the risk that the Trust will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Trust’s assets primarily comprise mainly readily realisable securities. The main liability of each Fund is the redemption of any units that investors wish to sell, as well as other liabilities, such as purchases of investments awaiting settlement.

The Trust’s financial instruments may include investments in OTC derivative contracts, which are not traded in an organised public market and may be illiquid. As a result, the Trust may not be able to promptly liquidate some of its investments in these instruments at an amount close to its fair value in order to meet its liquidity requirements or to respond to specific events such as deterioration in the credit worthiness of any particular issuer. Market value amounts are presented in the Schedule of Investments to indicate the extent of the Trust’s involvement in such instruments.

The trading volumes of stocks and fixed income securities held by each Fund are generally sufficient to satisfy liquidity requirements when necessary. However, to minimise or mitigate the effect of liquidity risk where deemed necessary, the Investment Advisor could either reposition the portfolio or adjust the allocation to obtain a higher concentration of more liquid securities. These adjustments could impact the Funds’ returns.

If the number of Units in a Fund falling to be redeemed on any Dealing Day is equal to 10% or more of the total number of Units in issue in that Fund, the Manager may in its discretion refuse to redeem any Units in that Fund in excess of 10% of the total number of Units in that Fund.

Under the Trust Deed between the Manager and the Custodian, and as outlined in Note 2 (f) of the Financial Statements, an overdraft facility is in place for the Funds.

F) Credit Risk

The Trust is exposed to credit risk from parties with whom it trades and also bears the risk of settlement default. The Trust seeks to minimise concentration of credit risk by undertaking transactions with a large number of counterparties on recognised and reputable exchanges and the over-the-counter market.

The Funds’ maximum exposure to credit risk (not taking into account the value of any collateral or other security held) in the event that counterparties fail to perform their obligations as of 30 June 2015 in relation to each class of recognised financial assets, other than derivatives, is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the Balance Sheet.

It is the Funds’ policy to take custody of securities purchased under repurchase agreements on a daily basis to protect the Funds in the event the securities are not repurchased by the counterparty. The Funds will generally obtain additional collateral if the market value of the underlying securities is less than the obligation to repurchase plus any accrued interest. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realisation and or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings.

Credit default contracts provide a measure of protection against defaults of debt issuers. The use of credit default contracts does not assure their use will be effective or will have the desired result. The credit events are specified in the contract and are intended to identify the occurrence of a significant deterioration in the creditworthiness of the reference asset. On settlement, credit default products may be cash settled or involve the physical delivery of an obligation of the reference entity following a default. The maximum exposure upon entering into credit default contracts is equal to the notional amount which is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. Buying credit default protection reduces the buyer's exposure to a reference entity (it is intended to reduce risk when a party owns a security issued by or otherwise has exposure to the reference entity or to create a synthetic short position in the reference entity). As the protection buyer, the buyer may lose its investment and recover nothing if a credit event does not occur and may be required to make periodic payments to the protection seller until the contracts matures.

The Trust holds interest rate swaps and credit default contracts at year end which are centrally cleared, and a party to a cleared derivatives transaction is subject to the credit risk of the clearing broker through which it holds its cleared position, rather than the credit risk of its original counterparty to the derivative transaction. The Trust's exposure to credit risk on swap contracts in which it has a net gain position is reduced by such gains received in cash from the counterparty under the daily mark-to-market mechanism (variation margin). It will also be exposed on any cash collateral pledged to cover contracts in a net loss position. All funds received by a clearing broker are generally held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Trust.

The clearing and depository operations for the Trust’s security transactions are mainly concentrated with one custodian, namely State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited (the “Custodian”). The long term credit rating of State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited as at 30 June 2015 was A1 (30 June 2014: A1). At 30 June 2015, all cash and cash equivalents and investments are placed in custody with State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited. The Trust also employs Barclays Bank Plc (credit rating of A2 at 30 June 2015 (30 June 2014: A2)) as a clearing broker for its centrally cleared swap transactions. In addition, there are risks involved in dealing with custodians or brokers who settle trades with regard to the segregation of assets. It is expected that all securities and other assets deposited with custodians or brokers will be clearly identified as being assets of the Fund; the Fund should not therefore be exposed to a credit risk with respect to such parties. However, it may not always be possible to achieve this segregation, so the portfolio of the Fund may experience increased exposure to credit risk associated with the applicable custodians or brokers. Bankruptcy or insolvency of the Custodian may cause the Funds' rights with respect to cash and securities held by the Custodian to be delayed or limited and the Funds would be treated as a general creditor of that entity in respect of their cash balances.

5. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments cont.

F) Credit Risk cont.

Risks associated with derivative contracts involve the possibility that the counterparty to the contract may default on its obligation to perform. Counterparty exposure is managed in accordance with the investment restrictions specified in the Trust's Prospectus. The Funds could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or in the price of the underlying security or index or the possibility that there is no liquid market for these agreements. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from failure of a counterparty is the fair value of the contract. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognised on the Balance Sheet. Market Value amounts are presented in the Schedule of Investments to indicate the extent of the Trust’s involvement in such instruments.

Ratings may be assigned to issuers, short-term programmes or to individual short-term debt instruments. Such obligations generally have an original maturity date not exceeding thirteen months, unless explicitly noted.

Moody's employs the following designations to indicate the relative repayment ability of rated issuers:

P-1: Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-1 have a superior ability to repay short-term debt obligations.

P-2: Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-2 have a strong ability to repay short-term debt obligations.

P-3: Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-3 have an acceptable ability to repay short-term debt obligations.

NP: Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Not Prime do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.

For Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2 and Putnam Total Return Fund, credit qualities are shown as a percentage of the Funds’ Net Asset Value as of 30 June 2015. A bond rated BAA or higher (Prime-3 or higher, for short-term debt) is considered investment grade. The chart reflects Moody’s ratings; percentages may include bonds or derivatives not rated by Moody’s but rated by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or, if unrated by S&P, by Fitch, and then included in the closest equivalent Moody’s rating. To-be-announced (“TBA”) mortgage commitments, if any, are included based on their issuer ratings. Ratings and portfolio credit quality will vary over time. Derivative instruments, including forward currency contracts, are only included to the extent of any unrealised gain or loss on such instruments and are shown in the not-rated category. Cash is shown in the not-rated category, except for Putnam Global High Yield Bond Fund, where cash and net other assets, if any, represent the market value weights of cash, derivatives, short-term securities, and other unclassified assets in the portfolio. Derivative offset values are included in the not-rated category and may result in negative weights. The Funds themselves have not been rated by an independent rating agency.

Global Exposure Under the UCITS Notices issued by the Central Bank, the Investment Advisor is required to employ a risk management process which enables it to accurately monitor and manage the global exposure to the Fund from financial derivative instruments (“FDIs”). FDI exposure including global exposure is controlled through the use of Value at Risk (“VaR”) methodology by the Investment Advisor. In accordance with the UCITS Notices, global exposure for each Fund to FDIs must not exceed 100% of each Fund's Net Asset Value. The maximum VaR permitted for the Fund is that which equates to a portfolio relative VaR of twice that of an appropriate benchmark or reference portfolio that is representative of the investment objective of the Fund but which will not include derivatives. The Fund’s reference portfolio is the MSCI World Index. VaR will be calculated daily using a one-tailed 99% confidence interval, a holding period equivalent to one day and quarterly data set updates (or more frequent when market prices are subject to material changes), and the historical observation period will not be less than one year unless a shorter period is justified by a significant increase in price volatility.

6. Taxation

Under current law and practice Putnam World Trust qualifies as an investment undertaking as defined in Section 739B of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997, as amended. On that basis, it is not chargeable to Irish tax on its income or gains.

The Trust will be regarded as resident in Ireland for tax purposes if all of the trustees are resident in lreland and the Trust is not regarded as resident elsewhere. It is the intention of the Manager that the business of the Trust will be conducted in such a manner as to ensure that it is Irish Resident for tax purposes.

Irish tax can arise on the happening of a “chargeable event”. A chargeable event includes any distribution payments to Unitholders or any encashment, redemption, cancellation or transfer of Units and the holding of Units at the end of each eight year period beginning with the acquisition of such Units.

No Irish tax will arise on the Trust in respect of “chargeable events” in respect of:

a) a Unitholder who is neither Irish resident nor ordinarily resident in Ireland for tax purposes, at the time of the chargeable event, provided appropriate valid declarations in accordance with the provisions of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 (of Ireland), as amended, are held by the Trust or the Trust has been authorised by the Irish Revenue to make gross Payments in the absence of appropriate declarations; and

b) certain exempted Irish tax resident Unitholders who have provided the Trust with the necessary signed statutory declarations.

Dividends, interest and capital gains received on investments made by the Trust may be subject to taxes imposed by the country from which the investment income/gains are received and such taxes may not be recoverable by the Trust or its Unitholders.

The Trust intends to comply with any regulations issued by the Irish government to give effect to the Ireland/U.S. Intergovernmental Agreement ("IGA") (signed in December 2012) and to implement the terms of the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA").

Under the IGA and any related Irish regulations, Irish financial institutions (as defined under the IGA) will be required to report annually to the Irish Revenue Commissioners (commencing in 2015) details of its U.S. account holders including the name, address and taxpayer identification number (TIN) and certain other details. The Trust was also required to amend its account on-boarding procedures with effect from 1 July 2014 in order to identify new U.S. account holders and report this information to the Irish Revenue. The Trust, in conjunction with assistance from its service providers where necessary, will endeavour to ensure that it satisfies any obligations imposed on it in relation to FATCA.

Unitholders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their interest in the Trust.

7. Fees

The fees of the Manager, the Investment Advisor (if applicable), the Administrator and the Trustee are borne individually by each of the Funds.

Trustee, Transfer Agent and Administrator Fee The Administrator, Trustee and Transfer Agent together shall each be entitled to receive out of the assets of each Fund annual fees, and those fees will generally not in total exceed 0.40% of the average Net Asset Value of each Fund calculated on the last Dealing Day of each month (plus VAT if any thereon). Please note that the foregoing fees, along with other operating expenses of certain of the Funds, are currently subject to an overall expense cap, as described in Note 10. The Trustee shall also be entitled to receive out of the assets of each Fund an annual safekeeping (custody) fee not to exceed 0.50% of the average Net Asset Value of each Fund. The Administrator and the Trustee shall also be entitled to be paid any transaction charges and expenses and any sub-custodian fees, which shall be at normal commercial rates. The Administrator shall also be entitled to an annual fee of US$10,000 out of the assets of the Trust for general administration services. This shall be apportioned pro rata among the Funds. The "Average Net Asset Value" shall refer to the average monthly Net Asset Value. Citibank Europe plc, the Transfer Agent, receives its fees out of the assets of the Trust.

8. Soft Commission Arrangements and Transaction Costs

During the year there were soft dollar transactions in the Funds. Soft dollar transactions occurred when the Investment Advisor used certain investment research services which assisted in the management of the Funds’ portfolio investments, which were paid for by certain brokers. These services could include, for example, research and analysis of the relative merits of individual shares or markets. In return, the Investment Advisor placed a proportion of business with these brokers including transactions relating to the Funds’ investments. The Investment Advisor has satisfied itself that it obtained best execution on behalf of the Funds and that these arrangements were to the benefit of the Funds.

For the years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014, the Funds incurred separately identifiable transaction costs, as defined in note 2(B)(v) as follows:

Fund 2015 2014

Putnam Asia Pacific (Ex-Japan) Equity Fund $ 53,621 34,151

Putnam Emerging Markets Equity Fund $ 67,251 45,538

Putnam Global Core Equity Fund $ 29,264 26,507

Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2 £ 37,016 59,786

Putnam Global High Yield Bond Fund $ 26,969 25,661

Putnam Total Return Fund $ 239,420 256,596

Putnam U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund $ 79,963 94,799

9. Master Agreements

Each Fund is a party to ISDA (International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements that govern OTC derivative and foreign exchange contracts and Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements ("Master Agreements") that govern transactions involving mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities that may result in delayed delivery with certain counterparties entered into from time to time. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Collateral can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. Government or related agencies or other securities as agreed to by the Funds and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the Funds’ net position with each counterparty. With respect to ISDA Master Agreements, termination events applicable to the Funds may occur upon a decline in the Funds’ net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time. Termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in the counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all derivative and foreign exchange contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of the Funds’ counterparties to elect early termination could impact the Funds’ future derivative activity.

As of 30 June 2015, due to a decrease in the net asset value during the year for Putnam Total Return Fund and Putnam U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund, such counterparties were entitled to elect, but had not yet elected, to terminate early, and cause settlement of all outstanding derivative and foreign exchange contracts outstanding under the applicable Master Agreements, including the payments by the funds of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by such counterparty.

Under the terms of the ISDA Master Agreements with certain brokers, the Funds allow certain counterparties the right to hold and re-register collateral in the name of the counterparty or in another name other than the Funds, (i) to pledge, repledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate, sell, lend, or otherwise transfer or use any amount of the collateral, and to use or invest cash collateral at its own risk.

10. Significant Agreements and Related Party Transactions cont.

Performance fee The Manager will be entitled to receive a performance fee out of the assets of Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2 allocated to each Class of Unit, except for Class E Units, a portion of which will be payable to the Investment Advisor. The performance fee will be calculated on a Unit-by-Unit basis so that each Unit is charged a performance fee which equates precisely with that Unit’s performance.

The performance fee will be payable to the Manager for each Class of Unit, except for Class E Units, at a rate equal to 20% of the “Excess Return” (as defined in the Prospectus) during the Calculation Period, if any, achieved by that Class. If the respective Class of Unit experiences no Excess Return, following payment of the performance fee in any previous year, the Manager will retain all performance fees previously paid for that Class of Units but no further performance fee will be charged until additional “Excess Return” is achieved by the relevant Class of Units. The calculation of the performance fee, if any, payable to the Manager in any year, shall be subject to the verification of the Trustee. The performance fee shall accrue on each Dealing Day and accordingly the Net Asset Value will be adjusted to reflect such fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any accrued performance fee referable to Units repurchased prior to the end of the relevant year shall be retained by the Manager following such repurchase.

During the years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014 the following performance fees were earned:

Fund 30 June 2015 30 June 2014

Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2 £312,001 £1,868,343 The Benchmark gain of which the Excess Return is calculated is defined for each Class of Units of Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2 as the daily 6 month LIBOR return in the currency of that Class.

Sub-investment advisor The Investment Advisor has entered into a sub-investment advisory agreement with Putnam Investments Limited, an affiliate of The Putnam Advisory Company, LLC. Putnam Investments Limited has its principal office at Cassini House, 57-59 St. James’s Street, London SW1A 1LD and is a company organised under the laws of England and Wales (the “Sub-investment advisor”). The Sub-investment advisor is licensed as an investment manager by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom and is registered under the United States Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Sub-investment advisor acted as sub-investment advisor for Putnam Global High Yield Bond Fund during the year. The fees of the Sub-investment advisor are being paid out of the fees of the Investment Advisor.

Transactions with Trustee affiliate State Street Bank and Trust Company, an affiliate of the Trustee, is a major U.S. bank that may act as counterparty on securities trades for the Trust, subject to the Investment Advisor’s best execution policy. Any open over-the-counter derivatives transactions with State Street Bank and Trust Company at 30 June 2015 are listed in each Fund’s respective “Schedule of Investments”.

Each Fund utilises Financial Derivative Instruments (“FDI”) for investment purposes and/or for efficient portfolio management purposes. In addition to the investments in FDI set down in the Prospectus and subject to the conditions and within the limits laid down by the Central Bank, each Fund may employ techniques and instruments relating to transferable securities and money market instruments for efficient portfolio management purposes. Transactions for the purposes of efficient portfolio management may be undertaken with a view to achieving a reduction in risk, a reduction in costs or an increase in capital or income returns to a Fund and may not be speculative in nature. These techniques and instruments may include investments in FDI. New techniques and instruments may be developed which may be suitable for use by a Fund and the Manager may employ such techniques and instruments. Techniques and instruments which relate to transferable securities and money market instruments and which are used for the purpose of efficient portfolio management, including FDI which are not used for direct investment purposes, shall be understood as a reference to techniques and instruments which fulfil the following criteria:

(a) they are economically appropriate in that they are realised in a cost-effective way;

(b) they are entered into for one or more of the following specific aims:

(i) reduction of risk;

(ii) reduction of cost;

(iii) generation of additional capital or income for the Fund with a level of risk which is consistent with the risk profile of the Fund and the risk diversification rules set out in the UCITS Notices;

(c) their risks are adequately captured by the risk management process of the Fund; and

(d) they cannot result in a change to the Fund’s declared investment objectives or add supplementary risks in comparison to the general risk policy as described in the sales documents.

Investment in FDI are subject to the conditions and limits laid down by the Central Bank.

The direct and indirect operational costs and fees are not readily identifiable and therefore are not split out separately on the face of the Profit and Loss Accounts.

None of the Trust's Funds track an index.

Set out below are details of the efficient portfolio management techniques and instruments currently used across the following Funds (which may change over time); Putnam Global Fixed Income Alpha Fund S2, Putnam Global High Yield Bond Fund, Putnam Total Return Fund and Putnam U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund.

Repurchase Agreements: The Funds listed above entered into repurchase agreements, which are used as short-term cash management vehicles. The interest income earned on repurchase agreements is disclosed as part of interest income in the Profit and Loss Account. Repurchase agreements are secured by collateral, typically U.S. government or agency securities. It is the Fund’s policy that the Custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. In the event of default by the counterparty, a Fund has the contractual right to liquidate the collateral securities and to apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.
