About PEQUX

Putnam Focused International Equity Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed to seek capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of companies located outside the United States. The fund employs a focused, high-conviction approach, typically holding a concentrated portfolio of both growth and value stocks across a variety of developed and emerging markets. At least 80% of its net assets are allocated to equity investments, emphasizing high-quality companies that the management team believes are trading at significant discounts to their intrinsic value. The fund has exposure to large-cap holdings across sectors such as technology, financial services, communication services, and industrials, with a notable portion of assets often concentrated in its top holdings. By targeting international equities, the fund offers investors diversification beyond U.S. markets and reflects the performance of the global economy through a blend of industry leaders and innovative businesses. Its strategic role is to provide access to international market opportunities and growth potential, complementing broader, globally diversified investment portfolios.
