About PNGAX
Putnam International Value Fund Class A is a diversified mutual fund that primarily seeks capital growth by investing in common stocks of large and midsize companies located outside the United States. The fund places a strong emphasis on value investing, targeting companies whose stocks are believed to be undervalued relative to their fundamental worth. This approach aims to uncover international businesses with solid growth prospects and the potential to deliver consistent returns. In addition to pursuing capital appreciation, the fund also considers current income as a secondary objective, periodically distributing dividends and capital gains to shareholders. Managed by Putnam Management since its inception in 1996, the fund plays a significant role for investors who wish to access international equity markets while focusing on value-oriented investment strategies. Through this diversified exposure, the fund contributes to portfolio diversification and helps mitigate risks associated with single-country investments, making it a relevant choice for those seeking to broaden their global investment footprint.
