Fund Recognized by Refinitiv Lipper for Strong 5- and 10-Year Performance

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Putnam Investments announced today that Putnam International Value Fund has received 2021 Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards for Best International Large-Cap Value Fund in the five-year and 10-year performance categories, recognizing the fund’s superior risk-adjusted long-term investment results compared to its peers.

“We are pleased to be celebrated by Refinitiv Lipper with these prestigious honors acknowledging the strong, long-term performance of Putnam International Value Fund,” said Robert L. Reynolds, Putnam Investments President and CEO. “Receiving these highly sought-after awards is a testament to Putnam’s talented investment professionals, who are dedicated to delivering consistently outstanding performance on behalf of our clients and fund shareholders.”

Putnam International Value Fund R6 (PIGWX) received an award as the top performer for the five-year period within the International Large-Cap Value Fund category, out of 33 funds. Putnam International Value Fund Y (PNGYX) was honored as the leading performer out of 29 funds for the 10-year period in the category.

Managed by Darren A. Jaroch and Lauren B. DeMore, Putnam International Value Fund pursues its goal of capital growth by seeking to benefit from broad exposure to established large-cap non-U.S. companies.

Putnam Investments has built a reputation for its strong long-term active management performance beyond Putnam International Value Fund. In February 2021, Barron’s Best Fund Families of 2020 ranked Putnam as the third-best fund family (out of 44) for its performance over the past 10 years.
