- Putnam International Equity Fund Class A (POVSX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of large and midsize companies outside the United States, with a focus on established firms in developed markets such as those in Europe, Japan, and the United Kingdom; it employs a flexible blend strategy incorporating both growth and value stocks, supported by fundamental research, quantitative tools, and risk controls in portfolio construction. The fund allocates mainly to non-U.S. equities (approximately 90%), with top sectors including financials, industrials, and health care; key holdings feature companies like Iberdrola SA, Hoya Corp, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc, Roche Holding AG, and Nintendo Co Ltd; geographic exposure emphasizes the Eurozone, Japan, and the United Kingdom, alongside smaller positions in emerging markets. Managed by Putnam Investment Management, LLC since the fund's inception on February 28, 1991, with Vivek Gandhi leading since 2018 and David Morgan joining in June 2025, it maintains total net assets of around $858 million to $878 million and a net expense ratio of 1.20%, available to U.S. investors with a 5.75% front-end load. Putnam Investments, the fund's manager and a subsidiary of Franklin Templeton Investments following the completion of its acquisition by Franklin Resources, Inc. on January 1, 2024, was originally founded in 1937 and is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. Recent developments include the full integration into Franklin Templeton's platform, enhancing distribution of Putnam strategies internationally across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia; transfer of closed-end fund management contracts to Franklin Advisers effective July 2024; and portfolio adjustments such as new positions in Glencore plc, SK hynix Inc., and others.
