Prospectus Supplement December 30, 2022
Putnam PanAgora Risk Parity Fund
Prospectuses dated December 30, 2022
At a meeting held on November 18, 2022, the Board of Trustees of Putnam Investment Funds (the “Trust”) approved a plan to liquidate Putnam PanAgora Risk Parity Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Trust (the “Plan”), upon recommendation by Putnam Investment Management, LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser. The liquidation of the Fund is expected to occur on or about January 26, 2023 (the “Liquidation Date”), although the Fund may make dispositions of portfolio holdings prior to the Liquidation Date.
Effective as of December 9, 2022, the Fund will be closed to new purchases, other than the automatic reinvestment of dividends, in anticipation of the liquidation. Shareholders can redeem their shares from the Fund at any time on or before the close of business on January 26, 2023 at the then-current net asset value.
As soon as reasonably practicable after the Liquidation Date, after the payment of (or provision for) all charges, taxes, expenses and liabilities, whether due or accrued or anticipated, of the Fund, and after determination of any dividend(s) to be paid pursuant to the Plan, the Fund will liquidate its remaining assets and distribute cash pro rata to all remaining shareholders as of January 26, 2023 who have not previously redeemed all of their Fund shares or exchanged their Fund shares for those of another Putnam fund.
Shareholders should consult their tax advisors about the tax implications of the liquidation of the Fund.

I sold my VWINX in 2021 bothered by the duration. I am unsure why the managers did not reduce the duration going into 2022 given the likelihood that interest rates would spike. I have to assume that they felt many of their customers wanted income but the difference between the yields of their bonds and MM was small. VWINX has rather promoted itself as a "low volatile" fund, which was not the case this year.
If they are really bumping up their exposure to Growth, I wonder if they are ready for the increased volatility that may result if interest rates don't come down. It would seem that the bonds and higher growth names will both dive if interest rates bump up

Bought additional VPMCX shares to reach the annual purchase limit.
Sold stable value fund and bought DOXIX in 401(k).
This is the reverse of a trade executed on 12/31/21.
Bond fund yields are much more attractive today compared to last year.
Although the Fed Funds Rate may continue to increase,
I believe the bulk of rate increases have already occurred during this cycle.

@Old_Joe - Assuming AAA rated bonds and bond-like securities (including CDs) of the short to intermediate term variety compete to some degree in the marketplace for investor inflows, does the following help explain what has happened to CD rates of late?
”The interest rate of I bonds for the past six months was 9.62%, the highest yield this savings bond has offered since its debut in 1998. The new inflation rate for I bonds is 6.89% and will last until May 1, 2023.”
Source
The I-bond rate is adjusted for inflation. The “official” inflation rate has fallen over the past 6 months, I-Bond rates have fallen a commensurate amount (about 3%). So, other AAA rated paper is likely to have reacted in similar manner in the marketplace. Not to say that a CD is like an I-Bond. Big differences. But they likely compete for inflows among similar types of investors.
(Not sure what an I-Bond’s duration is. However, I know they can be redeemed (for a small loss of interest) in as little as one year.)
One side note: I hear the words “risk free” tossed around a lot in regard to AAA / government / or government backed paper. ISTM there is the risk of not having that money readily available should opportunities arise in the equity, real estate, or other markets. In some cases that money is locked-in for a set time frame. In other cases there’s a penalty for early withdrawal. Just food for thought.

I still like VWINX/ VWIAX as a plain vanilla mix of div-stocks + inv-grade (mostly corporates). It is offered at ER of 23/16 bps only.
But I have shifted quite a bit into VG multi-asset VPGDX (similar to Fido FMSDX; allocation comparable to VWELX/ VWENX) that may have a better rebound potential.

I would be interested in comments on the new manager change and current portfolio constitution vs previous historical metrics.
Please correct me if I am wrong this was a quick analysis......notable changes: bond Credit Quality of AAA now 26% vs old 21. Effective Duration now 6.61 vs 8.03 old. Value now 38% vs 55-70% old. Blend now 58% vs 21% old. Standard deviation seems to have increased maybe simply due to market increased volatility. TO rate now 58% vs 53 old.
I guess the Value equity % change is the most notable change. Comments?

If you're home appreciates at a nice investment percent, that to me is an additional benefit. What I always felt most important is when you own, part of that monthly mortgage is paid back to yourself in that you end up with equity. Paying rent, to me, is just money down the drain. You'll never see it again.
Maybe this is truer where I live in the suburbs of Rochester NY. Property taxes are huge here, often more than the mortgage payment, but still the difference between ownership and renting a comparable property is not drastically different. Mortage payments can be fixed. Rent will always rise. Maybe this isn't true in big city areas where starter homes can be close to a million, but it is here.
@Crash, mortgage rates have increased, but they are still lower than when I bought my 1st home in the late '70s. I had a mortgage rate at ~14%. I think right now mortgage rates are around 6%-ish. They will come down again and when they do todays buyers will refinance at lower rates. That's how it works.

@ MrRuffles. If the acct is large, I think greater than 50K ask to be assigned to personal rep and ask for their phone #. Call that person and leave a message. They will facilitate resolution of any problems that might occur I always got a callback within 15 min. and they were fantastic in solving the issues. Hope this is helpful!

Ditto what BF said... Nice work @dtconroe...
Barring a huge plus or minus in the stock market in the last couple days of the year, I'll end the year over all somewhere around -11.5%. Better than my Fidelity and TRP benchmarks by a few percent, but that's of little solitude.
I will say, all my tinkering around the edges ended up being just a feel-good process making me think I was adding value. I guess my "helped and hurt" interaction cancelled each other out :) I come to that conclusion because 1/2 my money is in a Schwab robo and 1/2 I self-manage. Both portfolios are pretty much neck and neck at the finish line, the robo probably a few 10ths of a percent better.
The good news, at least I didn't screw things up to bad :)

Having mental health issues is no excuse for being a ”MAGA Nazi jerk”. But it might shed some light on this guy’s erratic and seemingly self-destructive behavior.
The 50-year-old Tesla and SpaceX CEO, who first publicly disclosed that he has Asperger's syndrome in his Saturday Night Live opening monologue in May 2021
I agree with @rono that Musk has “screwed the pooch” with his acquisition of Twitter and subsequent behavior. Yes. Exactly. Many who desired to own a Tesla will now shun it, unless this guy can seriously clean up his act.
I don’t know if Musk is a Nazi. But another famous U.S. rocket pioneer was a former card-carrying Nazi. Yet his contributions to the 1969 U.S. manned lunar mission were monumental. Wernher von Braun … Not sure what that demonstrates except that intelligence and morality are two distinctly different matters.. Thanks @rono for the spot-on commentary.

Howdy folks,
Had to chime in and am probably repeating much of what has been said. Tesla is toast. Twitter is toast. All due to a very smart man letting his ego go crazy. Same/same with Zuckerberg and his metaverse idiocy.
Tesla is toast because 1. the big boys are getting involved. Here to fore, Tesla has had zero competition. Those days are over. The big boys are getting into the game and they have scale. Tesla's trying to develop scale but not anything like the big 6 or 7 auto manufacturers already have. Some have said it will be difficult to switch over. I don't think so. They switch over every year. The power plant/battery component will be more involved but it's not going to take that long. In addition, 2. Musk has alienated his entire customer base with his Twitter idiocy. He's revealed himself as a MAGA Nazi jerk and his customers are exactly the opposite. Demand is off and even used Tesla demand has cratered.
The bottom line for all of us is 'stay in your lane'.
and so it goes,
peace,
rono

Because at the end of this difficult year you've got to laugh, or, at least, try to:
I wonder if his defense could be that Larry David the character was dismissive of crypto in the ad regardless of what the ad said at the end?

https://avclub.com/larry-david-ftx-ad-class-action-lawsuit-1849794031
Also, the trial should be interesting. When will you ever see Larry David, Tom Brady and Shaq in the same room together again?

While tech/XLK is #3 from the last, look at what is now hidden in consumer-discretionary/XLY (33.67% in AMZN, TSLA) and communications-telecom/XLC (42.41% in META, GOOGL/GOOG, NFLX) ?
So, ALL of the original FANG are now not even in the tech.
Investors should consider equal-weight indexes/ETFs for sectors.

1-YR chart is current to 12/15/2022. Shows which sectors helped and which detracted from an investment portfolio.

Source & additional charts / commentary
Note - Since the chart is for 1 year, I’ll assume it’s tracking from 12/15/21 thru 12/15/ 2022

Apparently, individual investors net/net have been buying TSLA while institutional investors have been selling.
A blurb from today’s WSJ:
”Still, individual investors have been doubling down, purchasing a net $16 billion of Tesla stock this year, according to data from Vanda Research. That makes it the most popular buy among individuals this year, dethroning Apple Inc. as the most-purchased stock by individuals. On Wednesday, for example, Tesla shares were the most popular buy among individual investors on the Fidelity brokerage platform.”

Article: Tesla Stock Suffers December Selloff …
Go figure.

Interesting take on inflation’s effects in today’s WSJ:
Inflation Takes Biggest Bite From Middle-Income Households
”Inflation is often called a tax on the poor, but this time it’s hit middle-income households the hardest. Many low-income households, benefiting from exceptionally low unemployment rates, have found jobs and experienced wage increases that lifted income more than the cost of living, according to studies by the Congressional Budget Office and others. Many were also bolstered by federal payments during the pandemic. At the high end, many households have seen big losses in stock and bond markets, but their income and savings were large enough that they were able to keep spending aggressively. The middle has been in a vise. Purchasing power from paychecks fell 2.9% for middle-income households in 2022 compared with 2021, while rising 1.5% for the bottom fifth of households and 1.1% for the top, according to the CBO study.”
