About PUVCX
Putnam International Capital Opportunities Fund Class C is a mutual fund focused on international equity markets, primarily investing in small- and mid-cap companies outside the United States. Its main goal is to provide capital preservation and appreciation by building a diversified portfolio across developed and emerging markets, excluding U.S. firms. The fund is classified within the "Foreign Small/Mid Blend" category, which means it targets stocks representing the lower market capitalization tiers in global markets and maintains a balance between growth and value styles. With around 58 issuers and a relatively concentrated exposure—the top ten holdings make up nearly 29% of the portfolio—the fund aims to capture growth opportunities while managing risk through diversification. Annual dividend distributions and a moderate turnover rate further characterize its approach. As part of a broader suite of international strategies, this fund plays a significant role for investors seeking access to global growth dynamics beyond large-cap or domestic markets, offering exposure to a wide range of industries and geographies. The fund also serves as a vehicle for diversifying away from U.S. market risks while accessing the potential of international small- and mid-sized companies.
Performance
PUVCX had a total return of 17.32% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 4.30%.
