Performance  data  will differ for each share class. Performance  data
for  the  funds  represent past results and an expense  limitation  in
effect  until  12/31/94  for the Growth and  Balanced  Portfolios  and
9/30/95  for the Conservative Portfolio. Without the limitation,  each
fund's  total return would have been lower. POP assumes 5.75%  maximum
sales  charge  for class A shares and 3.50% for class M  shares.  CDSC
reflects  the applicable contingent deferred sales charge,  which  for
class  B  shares is 5% and for class C shares, 1%. Investment  returns
and  principal value will fluctuate so an investor's shares when  sold
may  be  worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance
is no indication of future results.

REPORT FROM THE FUND MANAGERS
PETER CARMAN
GARY N. COBURN
WILLIAM J. LANDES

Putnam Asset Allocation Funds' solid performance has caught the eye of
industry  analysts. For the one-year period ended September 30,  1995,
Putnam Asset Allocation: Growth Portfolio class A shares ranked  first
out   of  all  global  flexible  portfolio  funds  tracked  by  Lipper
Analytical Services, an industry research firm. The Balanced Portfolio
class  A shares ranked fourth, and the Conservative Portfolio class  A
shares  ranked ninth in the same category. We are particularly pleased
with  this  performance, given the relatively  short  time  since  the
funds'  introduction. There were 48 funds in the category  during  the
period.  Lipper  rankings are based on total return performance,  vary
over  time,  and  do not include the effects of sales  charges.  Other
share  classes  will  differ. Past performance is  not  indicative  of
future results.

U.S. ECONOMIC AND MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Both  the U.S. stock market and bond market performed well during most
of  your  funds' fiscal 1995. The Federal Reserve Board continued  its
efforts to engineer a "soft landing" and has thus far, based on recent
economic data, been successful in doing so.

Stocks.  The  U.S. stock market, which had rallied almost continuously
since  the  end  of 1994, stalled in July and August in  the  face  of
ambiguous  economic  data  and  uncertainty  about  the  direction  of
interest  rates. Stocks resumed their ascension in September  as  your
funds'  fiscal year came to an end. Small- capitalization stocks  have
done very well, which is primarily a reflection of the strength of the
technology sector.

Putnam   Management  believes  the  fundamentals  are  in  place   for
continuing  positive returns over the next several years.  We  believe
that  U.S.  companies, both small and large, are  well  positioned  to
benefit  from  increased productivity, increasing  use  of  technology
worldwide,  a  weaker  dollar,  improved  quality,  and  an  improving
worldwide economy.
<PAGE>
Investors  should  be mindful that it is also possible  that  we  will
experience  a  pause  or a temporary correction in  the  near  future,
considering the strength of this year's stock market.

Bonds.  We  began  your funds' fiscal year with an  overweighted  U.S.
fixed-income  position  in  the  three portfolios,  anticipating  that
interest rates would come down. We maintained that allocation for  the
first  two  quarters  of the fiscal year, moving  to  a  more  neutral
position as we took advantage of the values created by 1994's dramatic
selloffs.

In  our  opinion, the Fed may well ease interest rates once more  this
year, particularly if the economy continues to slow -- which means the
bond rally could be nearing an end.


GLOBAL ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

International  bond  markets offered value  during  the  period  while
challenges -- and resulting opportunities -- marked the foreign  stock
markets.

Stocks.  International  equities have  represented  a  very  unsettled
investment  area  during the period, with both  emerging  markets  and
Japan  enduring tough conditions during the first part  of  the  year.
Japan has spent much of the 1990s mired in recession.

International   investing  may  include   risks   such   as   currency

bonds  involve  greater risk of nonpayment of principal  and  interest
than investment-grade bonds.

<PAGE>
The   country's  malaise  heightened  in  1994  as  major  banks  were
confronted with massive bad loans, government response to the downturn
was  deemed  inadequate,  and trade problems loomed  with  the  United
States.  However,  it was the ongoing strength of the  yen  that  most
threatened  Japanese  recovery  by making  Japanese  exports  globally
uncompetitive.

We are cautiously optimistic about Japan's prospects in the year ahead
mostly  because, after concerted intervention in currency  markets  by
Germany,  the  United States, and Japan itself, the  yen  has  finally
begun  to weaken. A weaker yen's effect on corporate profits,  coupled
with very low interest rates and ongoing government stimulus packages,
may finally begin to lift the Japanese market.

The  emerging  markets were also challenging and we have  reduced  the
funds' weighting in this sector. While these markets experienced bouts
of extreme volatility, there were months in which they performed quite
well, contributing to performance when the core markets stalled.

Given  the  relative underperformance through the first six months  of
1995,  we  believe  there  is potential in  the  international  equity
markets  for  the remainder of the year and beyond, requiring  careful
selectivity in country and stock selections.

Bonds.  The relative performance of U.S. versus non-U.S. bond  markets
has  created  exceptional yield opportunities abroad, particularly  in
core  European  markets.  Meanwhile,  the  Japanese  bond  market  has
outpaced all other major bond markets, reflecting the weakness of  the
Japanese economy.

Looking ahead, Putnam anticipates strong performance from the markets
in the United Kingdom, Italy, France, and Germany.

International   investing  may  include   risks   such   as   currency
fluctuations  and political developments. Small-capitalization  stocks
may  be more volatile than those of larger companies but offer greater
growth potential.

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK:

The  U.S.  stock market has enjoyed support from both falling interest
rates  and  robust  earnings.  Putnam  Management  believes  corporate
earnings should continue their strength through 1996. Although we took
strategic  shifts  in  and out of the fixed-income  arena,  the  three
portfolios  were in a relatively overweighted stock position  compared
with  its  target  allocation for most of the period. Moving  forward,
however, we are beginning to take a more cautious approach to the U.S.
stock  market  and a relatively aggressive bond position.  We  believe
that  the  U.S.  bond  market will offer value to  investors  for  the
balance  of  1995.  Overall, we believe non-U.S. bond  markets  should
outperform U.S. markets.

The  views  expressed here are exclusively those of Putnam Management.
They  are  not  meant  as  investment advice. Although  the  described
holdings  were viewed favorably as of 9/30/95, there is  no  guarantee
the funds will continue to hold these securities in the future.

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

CLASS A SHARES are generally subject to an initial sales charge.

CLASS B SHARES may be subject to a sales charge upon redemption.

CLASS  C  SHARES  are not subject to an initial sales charge  and  are
subject  to a contingent deferred sales charge only if the shares  are
redeemed during the first year.

CLASS  M SHARES have a lower initial sales charge than class A  shares
and no sales charge on redemption.

NET  ASSET VALUE (NAV) is the value of each classes' assets, minus any
liabilities,  divided  by  the  number  of  outstanding  shares,   not
including any initial or contingent deferred sales charge.

PUBLIC  OFFERING PRICE (POP) is the price of a mutual fund share  plus
the  maximum  sales  charge  levied  at  the  time  of  purchase.  POP
performance  figures shown here assume the maximum 5.75% sales  charge
for class A shares and 3.50% for class M shares.

CONTINGENT  DEFERRED SALES CHARGE (CDSC) is a charge  applied  at  the
time  of  the  redemption of class B and class C  shares  and  assumes
redemption at the end of the period. Your funds' class B CDSC declines
from  a 5% maximum during the first year to 1% during the sixth  year.
After the sixth year, the CDSC no longer applies. The CDSC for class C
shares is 1% for one year after purchase.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995

To the Trustees and Shareholders of
Putnam Asset Allocation Funds

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including  the  portfolios  of  investments  owned,  and  the  related
statements  of  operations  and  of changes  in  net  assets  and  the
financial  highlights  present fairly, in all material  respects,  the
financial  position  of each of the funds (Growth Portfolio,  Balanced
Portfolio,  and  Conservative  Portfolio)  constituting  Putnam  Asset
Allocation Funds ("the trust") at September 30, 1995, and the  results
of  their  operations, the changes in each of their  net  assets,  and
their  financial highlights for the periods indicated,  in  conformity
with   generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  These   financial
statements  and  financial  highlights  (hereafter  referred   to   as
"financial   statements")  are  the  responsibility  of  the   trust's
management;  our  responsibility is to express  an  opinion  on  these
financial  statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits  of
these  financial  statements  in accordance  with  generally  accepted
auditing  standards which require that we plan and perform the  audits
to  obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on  a
test  basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures  in  the
financial  statements, assessing the accounting  principles  used  and
significant  estimates made by management, and evaluating the  overall
financial  statement presentation. We believe that our  audits,  which
included  confirmation of investments owned at September 30,  1995  by
correspondence  with the custodian and brokers and the application  of
alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers  were
not  received,  provide a reasonable basis for the  opinion  expressed
above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1995

NOTE 1
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Putnam   Asset   Allocation  Funds  (the  "trust")  is  registered   under   the
Investment  Company  Act  of  1940,  as  amended,  as  a  diversified,  open-end
management   investment  company  which  consists  of  a  series  of  investment
portfolios   (the  "funds"),  each  of  which  is  represented  by  a   separate
series   of   shares   of  beneficial  interest.  The  trust  currently   offers
three   funds:   Growth   Portfolio,   Balanced   Portfolio   and   Conservative
Portfolio,   whose   objectives   are  to  seek  capital   appreciation,   total
return   and   total   return   consistent   with   preservation   of   capital,
respectively.

Each  series  of  the  trust offers class A, class  B,  class  C,  class  Y  and
class   M   shares.  The  trust  commenced  its  public  offering  of  class   M
shares as follows:

<TABLE><CAPTION>
<S>  <C>
FUND                                    DATE
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Growth Portfolio                        February 3, 1995
Balanced Portfolio                      February 6, 1995
Conservative Portfolio                  February 7, 1995
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

Class   A   shares   are  sold  with  a  maximum  front-end  sales   charge   of
5.75%.  Class  B  shares  do  not  pay  a  front-end  sales  charge  but  pay  a
higher   ongoing   distribution  fee  than  class   A   shares,   and   may   be
subject   to   a  contingent  deferred  sales  charge,  if  those   shares   are
redeemed  within  six  years  of  purchase.  Class  C  shares  are  subject   to
the   same  fees  and  expenses  as  class  B  shares,  except  that   class   C
shares   have  a  one-year  1.00%  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  and   do
not  convert  to  class  A  shares.  Class Y  shares,  which  are  sold  at  net
asset   value,  are  generally  subject  to  the  same  expenses  as   class   A
shares  and  class  B  shares,  but do not bear  a  distribution  fee.  Class  Y
shares  are  sold  to  defined  contribution  plans  that  initially  invest  at
least   $250  million  in  a  combination  of  Putnam  Funds.  Class  M   shares
are   sold  with  a  maximum  front  end  sales  charge  of  3.50%  and  pay   a
higher   ongoing   distribution  fee  than  class  A  shares  but   lower   than
class B and class C shares.

Expenses  of  the  trust  are  borne pro- rata by  the  holders  of  each  class
of  shares,  except  that  each  class  bears  expenses  unique  to  that  class
(including  the  distribution  fees  applicable  to  such  class).  Each   class
votes   as  a  class  only  with  respect  to  its  own  distribution  plan   or
other  matters  on  which  a  class  vote  is  required  by  law  or  determined
by   the   Trustees.  Shares  of  each  class  would  receive   their   pro-rata
share  of  the  net  assets  of  that fund, if that  fund  were  liquidated.  In
addition,   the   Trustees  declare  separate  dividends  on   each   class   of
shares.

The   following  is  a  summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies  followed
by   the   trust   in   the  preparation  of  its  financial   statements.   The
policies    are    in    conformity   with   generally    accepted    accounting
principles.

A      SECURITY   VALUATION   Investments  for  which  market   quotations   are
readily   available   are   stated  at  market  value,   which   is   determined
using  the  last  reported  sale price, or, if  no  sales  are  reported  --  as
in   the   case  of  some  securities  traded  over-the-counter  --   the   last
reported   bid   price,   except  that  certain  U.S.   government   obligations
are  stated  at  the  mean  between  the last reported  bid  and  asked  prices.
Securities   quoted   in   foreign   currencies   are   translated   into   U.S.
dollars at the
<PAGE>
current    exchange    rate.    Short-term    investments    having    remaining
maturities   of   60   days  or  less  are  stated  at  amortized   cost   which
approximates    market,    and   other   investments,    including    restricted
securities,   are  stated  at  fair  value  following  procedures  approved   by
the   Trustees.   Market   quotations  are  not   considered   to   be   readily
available   for   certain   long-  term  corporate   bonds   and   notes;   such
investments   are   stated   at  fair  value  on   the   basis   of   valuations
furnished   by   a   pricing   service,  approved   by   the   Trustees,   which
determines   valuations  for  normal,  institutional-size   trading   units   of
such    securities   using   methods   based   on   market   transactions    for
comparable    securities   and   various   relationships   between    securities
that   are   generally  recognized  by  institutional  traders.  (See   Sections
F,  G  and  H  of  Note  1  with  respect  to  valuation  of  TBA  and  purchase
commitments,    futures   and   options   contracts   and    forward    currency
contracts.)

B     JOINT  TRADING  ACCOUNT     Pursuant  to  an  exemptive  order  issued  by
the    Securities   and   Exchange   Commission,   the   funds   may    transfer
uninvested  cash  balances  into  a  joint  trading  account,  along  with   the
cash    of   other   registered   investment   companies   managed   by   Putnam
Investment   Management,  Inc.  (Putnam  Management),  the  funds'  Manager,   a
wholly-owned   subsidiary  of  Putnam  Investments,  Inc.  and   certain   other
accounts.   These   balances  may  be  invested  in  one  or   more   repurchase
agreements and/or short-term money market instruments.

C      REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS     The  funds,  or  any  joint  trading  account,
through    their    custodian,    receives   delivery    of    the    underlying
securities,   the   market  value  of  which  at  the  time   of   purchase   is
required   to   be   in  an  amount  at  least  equal  to  the   resale   price,
including    accrued   interest.   Putnam   Management   is   responsible    for
determining  that  the  value  of  these  underlying  securities   is   at   all
times at least equal to the resale price, including accrued interest.

D       SECURITY   TRANSACTIONS   AND   RELATED   INVESTMENT   INCOME   Security
transactions  are  accounted  for  on  the  trade  date  (date  the   order   to
buy   or  sell  is  executed).  Interest  income  is  recorded  on  the  accrual
basis   and  dividend  income  is  recorded  on  the  ex-dividend  date,  except
that  certain  dividends  from  foreign  securities  are  recorded  as  soon  as
a fund is informed of the ex-dividend date.

Discount   on   zero   coupon   bonds,  original   issue,   stepped-coupon   and
payment   in   kind   bonds  is  accreted  according  to  the  effective   yield
method.

E      FOREIGN  CURRENCY  TRANSLATION   The  accounting  records  of  the  trust
are    maintained   in   U.S.   dollars.   The   market   values   of    foreign
securities,    currency   holdings,   other   assets   and    liabilities    are
recorded   in  the  books  and  records  of  the  trust  after  translation   to
U.S.  dollars  based  on  the  exchange rate on  that  day.  The  cost  of  each
security   is   determined   using  historical  exchange   rates.   Income   and
withholding   taxes   are   translated  at  prevailing   exchange   rates   when
accrued  or  incurred.  The  funds  do not  isolate  that  portion  of  realized
and   unrealized  gains  or  losses  resulting  from  changes  in  the   foreign
exchange  rate  on  investments  from  fluctuations  arising  from  changes   in
the   market   prices  of  the  securities.  Such  fluctuations   are   included
with  the  net  realized  and  unrealized  gain  or  loss  on  investments.  Net
realized   gains   and   losses  on  foreign  currency  transactions   represent
net   exchange   gains   or  losses  on  closed  forward   currency   contracts,
disposition   of   foreign   currencies   and   the   difference   between   the
amount   of  investment  income  and  foreign  withholding  taxes  recorded   on
a   fund's   books   and   the   U.S.   dollar   equivalent   amounts   actually
received
<PAGE>
or    paid.    Net   unrealized   gains   and   losses   on   foreign   currency
transactions  arise  from  changes  in  the  value  of  open  forward   currency
contracts   and   assets  and  liabilities  other  than   investments   at   the
period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

F      TBA  PURCHASE  COMMITMENTS  The  funds  may  enter  into  "TBA"  (to   be
announced)   purchase   commitments  to  purchase   securities   for   a   fixed
unit  price  at  a  future  date  beyond  customary  settlement  time.  Although
the  unit  price  has  been  established,  the  principal  value  has  not  been
finalized.   However,  the  amount  of  the  commitments  will   not   fluctuate
more  than  2.0%  from  the  principal  amount.  A  fund  holds,  and  maintains
until   settlement   date,   cash  or  high-grade   debt   obligations   in   an
amount  sufficient  to  meet  the purchase price,  or  a  fund  may  enter  into
offsetting  contracts  for  the  forward  sale  of  other  securities  it  owns.
TBA   purchase   commitments  may  be  considered  securities   in   themselves,
and   involve   a   risk  of  loss  if  the  value  of  the   security   to   be
purchased   declines  prior  to  the  settlement  date,   which   risk   is   in
addition  to  the  risk  of  decline in the value  of  a  fund's  other  assets.
Unsettled   TBA   purchase  commitments  are  valued  at  the   current   market
value    of    the   underlying   securities   according   to   the   procedures
described under "Security valuation" above.

Although   the  funds  will  generally  enter  into  TBA  purchase   commitments
with  the  intention  of  acquiring  securities  for  their  portfolio  or   for
delivery  pursuant  to  options  contracts  they  have  entered  into,  a   fund
may   dispose  of  a  commitment  prior  to  settlement  if  Putnam   Management
deem it appropriate to do so.

G      FUTURES   AND   OPTIONS  CONTRACTS  The  funds  may   use   futures   and
option   contracts  to  hedge  against  changes  in  the  values  of  securities
a  fund  owns  or  expects  to  purchase.  The  funds  may  also  write  options
on  securities  they  own  or  in  which they may  invest  to  increase  current
returns.

The  potential  risk  to  the  funds is that the  change  in  value  of  futures
and  options  contracts  may  not correspond to  the  change  in  value  of  the
hedged  instruments.  In  addition,  losses  may  arise  from  changes  in   the
value  of  the  underlying  instruments,  if  there  is  an  illiquid  secondary
market   for  the  contracts,  or  if  the  counterparty  to  the  contract   is
unable to perform.

Futures   contracts   are   valued  at  the  quoted  daily   settlement   prices
established   by   the   exchange   on  which  they   trade.   Exchange   traded
options   are   valued   at  the  last  sale  price,  or   if   no   sales   are
reported,  the  last  bid  price  for  purchased  options  and  the   last   ask
price   for   written  options.  Options  traded  over-the-counter  are   valued
using prices supplied by dealers.

H      FORWARD   CURRENCY  CONTRACTS     The  funds  may   engage   in   forward
currency   contracts,  which  are  agreements  between  two   parties   to   buy
and   sell   currencies  at  a  set  price  on  a  future   date,   to   protect
against   a   decline   in   value  relative  to  the   U.S.   dollar   of   the
currencies  in  which  portfolio  securities  are  denominated  or  quoted   (or
an   increase  in  the  value  of  a  currency  in  which  securities   a   fund
intends   to  buy  are  denominated,  when  a  fund  holds  cash  reserves   and
short-   term   investments).   The  market   value   of   the   contract   will
fluctuate   with   changes  in  currency  exchange  rates.   The   contract   is
"marked  to  market"  daily  and  the change in  market  value  is  recorded  as
an   unrealized  gain  or  loss.  When  the  contract  is  closed,   the   funds
record   a   realized  gain  or  loss  equal  to  the  difference  between   the
value  of  the  contract  at  the  time it was  opened  and  the  value  at  the
time   it   was  closed.  The  maximum  potential  loss  from  forward  currency
contracts  is  the  aggregate  face  value in  U.S.  dollars  at  the  time  the
contract was opened. A fund could
<PAGE>
be   exposed  to  risk  if  the  value  of  the  currency  changes  unfavorably,
if  the  counterparties  to  the contracts are  unable  to  meet  the  terms  of
their   contracts   or   if  a  fund  is  unable  to  enter   into   a   closing
position.

I     FEDERAL  TAXES   It  is  the  policy of each fund  to  distribute  all  of
its   income  within  the  prescribed  time  and  otherwise  comply   with   the
provisions   of   the   Internal   Revenue   Code   applicable   to    regulated
investment   companies.   It   is  also  the   intention   of   each   fund   to
distribute  an  amount  sufficient  to  avoid  imposition  of  any  excise   tax
under  Section  4982  of  the  Internal Revenue  Code  of  1986.  Therefore,  no
provision  has  been  made  for  federal  taxes  on  income,  capital  gains  or
unrealized   appreciation   of  securities  held   and   for   excise   tax   on
income and capital gains.

J      DISTRIBUTIONS   TO   SHAREHOLDERS  Distributions  to   shareholders   are
recorded   by   each   fund  on  the  ex-  dividend   date.   The   amount   and
character   of   income  and  gains  to  be  distributed   are   determined   in
accordance  with  income  tax  regulations  which  may  differ  from   generally
accepted   accounting  principles.  These  differences  include   treatment   of
unrealized   gains  and  losses  on  certain  futures  contracts,   post-October
loss    deferrals,   losses   on   wash   sale   transactions,   realized    and
unrealized     gains    and    losses    on    foreign    currency    contracts,
organizational   expenses,  amortization  of  bond  premium,   market   discount
and    paydown    gains    and    losses    on    mortgage-backed    securities.
Reclassifications   are   made  to  a  fund's  capital   accounts   to   reflect
income  and  gains  available  for  distribution  (or  available  capital   loss
carryovers)   under   income   tax  regulations.   Reclassifications   for   the
year ended September 30, 1995 were as follows:

K       EXPENSE    OF    THE    TRUST       EXPENSES   directly    charged    or
attributable  to  any  fund  will  be  paid  from  the  assets  of  that   fund.
Generally,   expenses  of  the  trust  will  be  allocated  among  and   charged
to  the  assets  of  each  fund  on a basis that  the  Trustees  deem  fair  and
equitable,  which  may  be  based  on  the  relative  assets  of  each  fund  or
the   nature   of   the  services  performed  and  relative   applicability   to
each fund.

L      UNAMORTIZED  ORGANIZATION  EXPENSES   Expenses  incurred  by  the   trust
in    connection   with   its   organization,   its   registration   with    the
Securities   and   Exchange  Commission  and  with  various  states,   and   the
initial   public  offering  of  its  shares  aggregated  $39,790  allocated   as

</TABLE>
       These   expenses  are  being  amortized  by  each  fund  on  a  straight-
line   basis   over  a  five-year  period.  The  funds  will  reimburse   Putnam
Management for the payment of these expenses.

NOTE 2
MANAGEMENT FEE, ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES, AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

Compensation    of   Putnam   Management   for   management    and    investment
advisory  services  is  paid  quarterly based  on  the  average  net  assets  of
the fund.
<PAGE>
Such   fee  is  based  on  the  following  annual  rates:  0.70%  of  the  first
$500  million  of  average  net  assets of  a  fund,  0.60%  of  the  next  $500
million,  0.55%  of  the  next  $500 million, 0.50%  of  any  amount  over  $1.5
billion.

Putnam  Management  agreed  to  reduce  its  compensation  and,  to  the  extent
necessary,   limit  expenses  of  the  Growth  and  Balanced  Portfolios   until
December   31,   1994  and  the  Conservative  portfolio  until  September   30,
1995,     (exclusive     of     brokerage,     interest,     taxes,     deferred
organizational    and   extraordinary   expenses,   if   any,    and    expenses
incurred   under  the  trust's  distribution  plans  described  below)   to   an
annual   rate   of   1.00%   of   each   fund's   average   net   assets.   This
limitation  was  accomplished  by  a  reduction  of  the  compensation   payable
under   the  management  contract  to  Putnam  Management  and,  to  the  extent
necessary,    by   Putnam   Management's   assumption   of   additional    trust
expenses.

The   trust   also  reimburses  Putnam  Management  for  the  compensation   and
related  expenses  of  certain  officers  of  the  trust  and  their  staff  who
provide   administrative  services  to  the  trust.  The  aggregate  amount   of
all such reimbursements is approved by the Trustees.

Trustees of the Trust receive an annual Trustee's fee as follows:

</TABLE>


Trustees    receive    an   additional   fee   for   each   Trustees'    meeting
attended.   Trustees  who  are  not  interested  persons  of  Putnam  Management
and   who   serve  on  committees  of  the  Trustees  receive  additional   fees
for attendance at certain committee meetings.

During  the  year  ended  September  30,  1995,  the  funds  adopted  a  Trustee
Fee  Deferral  Plan  (the  "Plan")  which  allows  the  Trustees  to  defer  the
receipt  of  all  or  a  portion  of Trustees fees  payable  on  or  after  July
1,  1995.  The  deferred  fees  remain in each fund  and  are  invested  in  the
funds   or  in  other  Putnam  funds  until  distribution  in  accordance   with
the Plan.

Custodial   functions   for  each  of  the  funds'  assets   are   provided   by
Putnam    Fiduciary   Trust   Company   (PFTC),   a   subsidiary    of    Putnam
Investments,   Inc.  Investor  servicing  agent  functions   are   provided   by
Putnam Investor Services, a division of PFTC.

For  the  year  ended  September  30,  1995,  fund  expenses  were  reduced   by
$98,923,   $136,819   and  $45,798,  for  Growth,  Balanced  and   Conservative,
respectively,    under    expense   offset   arrangements    with    PFTC    and
brokerage   service   arrangements.  Investor  servicing  and   custodian   fees
reported   in   the   Statement  of  operations  exclude  these   credits.   The
funds   could   have   invested   a  portion   of   the   assets   utilized   in
connection   with  the  offset  arrangements  in  an  income-  producing   asset
if it had not entered into such arrangements.

Each  fund  has  adopted  distribution  plans  (the  "Plans")  with  respect  to
its  class  A,  class  B,  class  C and class M shares  pursuant  to  Rule  12b-
1  under  the  Investment  Company  Act  of  1940.  The  purpose  of  the  Plans
is   to   compensate  Putnam  Mutual  Funds  Corp.,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary
of    Putnam   Investments   Inc.,   for   services   provided   and    expenses
incurred  by  it  in  distributing  shares  of  each  fund.  The  Plans  provide
for   payments  by  the  funds  to  Putnam  Mutual  Funds  Corp.  at  an  annual
rate  of  up  to  0.35%,  1.00%,  1.00% and 1.00%  of  the  average  net  assets
attributable   to   class   A,class   B,   class   C   and   class   M   shares,
respectively.  The  Trustees  have  approved  payment  by  each   fund   at   an
annual  rate  of  0.25%,  1.00%,  1.00% and 0.75%  of  the  average  net  assets
attributable to class A,
<PAGE>
class B, class C and class M shares, respectively.

For   the   period  ended  September  30,  1995,  Putnam  Mutual  Funds   Corp.,
acting   as  underwriter  received  net  commissions  of  $399,044  and  $20,735
from   the   sale   of  class  A  and  M  shares  and  $576,831and   $8,186   in
contingent  deferred  sales  charges  from  redemptions  of  class   B   and   C
shares.   A  deferred  sales  charge  of  up  to  1%  is  assessed  on   certain
redemptions  of  class  A  shares.  For  the  year  ended  September  30,  1995,
Putnam   Mutual   Funds  Corp.,  acting  as  underwriter  received   $8,947   on
class A redemptions.
