Dear Shareholder:

The merits of diversification were well demonstrated during the first half
of Putnam Asset Allocation Funds' fiscal 1999 as the world's securities
markets delivered widely divergent results in a generally volatile
environment.

The broad-based expertise of Putnam's Asset Allocation team, headed by
William J. Landes, guided each portfolio's structure, drawing from
virtually all asset classes to deliver commendable results.

The management team with its access to full-spectrum global research,
dedication to style consistency, clearly stated risk/reward parameters,
and well-defined performance goals is uniquely equipped to manage your
funds' comprehensive scope.

In the following report, Bill reviews the economic and investment
environment in each key market during the semiannual period and then
offers his perspective on the outlook for the remainder of the fiscal
year.

Respectfully yours,

/S/GEORGE PUTNAM
George Putnam
Chairman of the Trustees
May 19, 1999



Report from the Fund Manager
William J. Landes

Resurgent financial and political instability in many of the world's
developing countries had a dramatic effect on securities markets around
the globe throughout the six months ended March 31, 1999. In this
environment, the diversification benefits offered by the funds' mix of
asset classes enabled investors to take advantage of the
stronger-performing classes while reducing the effects of market
volatility. See the performance summary that begins on page 9 for a
detailed overview of each portfolio's performance.

* U.S. EQUITIES: VOLATILE, BUT REWARDING

Strong economic fundamentals helped push prices higher as the U.S.
unemployment rate fell to a record 29-year low, GDP surged at a
higher-than-expected rate, and consumer confidence heightened. While
interest rates rose sharply in February on fears of a U.S. Federal Reserve
Board rate increase, the Fed ultimately chose to leave rates unchanged at
its March meeting.

Stocks: U.S. equity markets continued their bull run into 1999 with the
Dow passing the 10,000 mark. The market's advance was narrow with
large-cap stock prices setting new performance records. Small-cap stocks,
however, generally did not participate, widening an already substantial
performance gap. Similarly, the performance rifts between growth and value
stocks expanded.

Within the U.S. equity component of the portfolios, the decision to
overweight large-cap growth stocks was a major contributor to performance,
since growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks and large caps to
outperform small caps over the period. Solid security selection in the
large-cap growth sector helped boost the portfolios' performance, as did
overweight positions in high-flying industry sectors such as technology
and consumer cyclicals and an underweight position in the weaker utilities
sector.

Bonds: U.S. bond yields moved sharply higher -- and prices lower -- during
the period in response to robust U.S. economic growth and concerns that
the Fed would boost interest rates. Concern that Japanese investors would
withdraw funds from the U.S. bond market also drove rates higher. In this
environment, fixed-income spread sectors -- such as the high-yield sector
- -- significantly outperformed U.S. Treasuries of comparable duration as
the flight-to-quality trade that began in August 1998 continued to reverse
itself.

In the U.S. investment-grade fixed-income portion of the portfolios,
sector rotation and security selection contributed positively to
performance. The fixed-income component benefited from an emphasis on
spread sectors versus Treasuries and superior security selection within
these sectors.

Within the fixed-income portion of the portfolios, we are maintaining an
overweight allocation to high-yield bonds. Valuations in the high-yield
sector remain attractive, reflecting the extreme spread widening that
occurred in late summer and early fall 1998. With this valuation cushion
in place, we are comfortable with a strong emphasis on this attractively
priced asset class over the next few months.

* DEVELOPED NATIONS LEAD INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE

The period was marked by significant global developments, including the
introduction of the euro, the devaluation of the Brazilian currency,
rebounding Asian economies, and a powerful rally in the Japanese equity
market. Beyond Japan, Pacific Basin economies continued to show
improvement with a corresponding rise in consumer confidence, suggesting
that the recoveries in this region should be sustainable.

Stocks: Foreign stock markets turned in a mixed performance during the
period. The Japanese and Australian stock markets have done quite well,
outperforming the U.S. market, while the German stock market index has
lagged the Standard & Poor's 500(R) Index by a considerable margin.
However, the strength of the dollar has caused unhedged international
investments to underperform.

In Europe, the surprising weakness of the euro seems to have rattled
European equity markets. At the time of its inauguration, the euro seemed
likely to prove a strengthening currency. However, it has weakened by
nearly 10% against the U.S. dollar since then. While this weakness is
problematic, we do not necessarily believe it is a foreshadowing of
difficult times for European stock markets. In fact, we continue to expect
strong performance from European stocks in 1999.

In the United Kingdom, we believe that the market may have begun a
virtuous circle, in which the Bank of England continues to ease interest
rates, the pound weakens, exporters benefit, earnings recover, and the
stock market outperforms.

In Japan, the market has begun 1999 with some surprising gains but remains
problematic. Emerging stock markets have been mixed, with Mexico rising
strongly even as Brazil has languished.

Bonds: International bonds were weak during the period, dragged down by
poor U.S. Treasury performance and a strong U.S. dollar, which pushed
returns into sharply negative territory.

In Europe, bond markets have been as weak as the U.S. bond market of late.
Uncertainty about the appropriate way to pursue a coordinated monetary
policy might harm investor confidence in European bonds over the next few
months.

In Japan, the massive selloff in Japanese government bonds as well as the
weakening yen has created an interesting opportunity. Increased
speculation that the Bank of Japan may be moving toward a policy of
monetization, coupled with the value restored to the market by the
December and January selloff, may make Japanese government bonds an
attractive investment on a hedged basis.

* STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

Our quantitative valuation measures have recently moved in favor of bonds
relative to equities. U.S. equities appear vulnerable as rising interest
rates and lofty valuations diminish 1999's outlook. Despite these relative
value concerns, we do not anticipate a change in the longstanding trends
within the equity market. We are maintaining our emphasis on U.S.
large-cap equities versus small-cap equities and our overweighting of
European equities versus U.S. equities.

International equity markets maintain a valuation advantage over their
U.S. counterparts. The wilting euro has caused some skittishness among
European equity investors, but we believe that the currency's weakness
will eventually benefit European stock markets. Despite euro concerns, we
believe that the new European central bank will use monetary policy to
stimulate demand, contributing to a favorable environment for European
stocks.

The U.S. bond market has been struggling in early 1999. Long-term bond
yields have risen since the year began, as a robust U.S. economy and
nascent inflation fears have spooked the market. Nevertheless, we will
maintain an overweight allocation to U.S. bonds based on their favorable
value relative to equities.

As a whole, international bonds are expected to produce returns roughly
equivalent to those of U.S. bonds. We believe European bond markets appear
slightly overvalued following 12 months of strong gains. The Japanese bond
market, however, appears more interesting. After recovering from its early
losses, it has been among the world's top-performing bond markets so far
in 1999. We are maintaining a slight overweight to Japanese bonds. We
believe these shifts will position the funds well for upcoming
opportunities in the global equity and fixed-income markets.

The views expressed here are exclusively those of Putnam Management. They
are not meant as investment advice. While these holdings and others
discussed in the report were viewed favorably as of 3/31/99, all are
subject to review and adjustment in accordance with the funds' investment
strategies and may well vary in the future. International investing may
include risks such as currency fluctuations, economic instability, and
political developments.

Performance data represent past results, is not indicative of future
performance, and the life-of-fund data reflect an expense limitation,
which was in effect until 12/31/94. Without the limitation, the funds'
total return would have been lower. More recent returns may be more or
less than those shown. Returns for class A and class M shares reflect the
current maximum initial sales charges of 5.75% and 3.50%, respectively.
Class B share returns for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year (where available) and
life-of-fund periods reflect the applicable contingent deferred sales
charge (CDSC), which is 5% in the first year, declines to 1% in the sixth
year, and is eliminated thereafter. Returns shown for class B and class M
shares for periods prior to their inception are derived from the
historical performance of class A shares, adjusted to reflect both the
initial sales charge or CDSC, if any, currently applicable to each class
and, in the case of class B and class M shares, the higher operating
expenses applicable to such shares. For class C shares, returns for
periods prior to their inception are derived from the historical
performance of class A shares, adjusted to reflect both the CDSC currently
applicable to class C shares, which is 1% for the first year and is
eliminated thereafter, and the higher operating expenses applicable to
class C shares. All returns assume reinvestment of distributions at NAV.
Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Performance data represent past results, is not indicative of future
performance, and the life-of-fund data reflect an expense limitation,
which was in effect until 12/31/94. Without the limitation, the funds'
total return would have been lower. More recent returns may be more or
less than those shown. Returns for class A and class M shares reflect the
current maximum initial sales charges of 5.75% and 3.50%, respectively.
Class B share returns for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year (where available) and
life-of-fund periods reflect the applicable contingent deferred sales
charge (CDSC), which is 5% in the first year, declines to 1% in the sixth
year, and is eliminated thereafter. Returns shown for class B and class M
shares for periods prior to their inception are derived from the
historical performance of class A shares, adjusted to reflect both the
initial sales charge or CDSC, if any, currently applicable to each class
and, in the case of class B and class M shares, the higher operating
expenses applicable to such shares. For class C shares, returns for
periods prior to their inception are derived from the historical
performance of class A shares, adjusted to reflect both the CDSC currently
applicable to class C shares, which is 1% for the first year and is
eliminated thereafter, and the higher operating expenses applicable to
class C shares. All returns assume reinvestment of distributions at NAV.
Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than their original cost.

The performance of each index will differ from that of the funds, assume

brokerage commissions or other costs. The funds' portfolios contain
securities that do not match those in the indexes. It is not possible to
invest directly in an index. Past performance is not indicative of future
results.


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 and a higher 12b-1 fee
than class A shares and no sales charge on redemption.

Net asset value (NAV) is the value of all your funds' 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 or 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.

Notes to financial statements
March 31, 1999 (Unaudited)

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.

The trust offers class A, class B, class C, class M and class Y shares.
Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%.
Class B shares, which convert to class A shares after approximately eight
years, do not pay a front-end sales charge but pay a higher ongoing
distribution fee than class A shares, and are 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 M shares are sold with a maximum front end sales charge of 3.50% and
pay an ongoing distribution fee that is higher than class A shares but
lower than class B shares. Class Y shares, which are sold at net asset
value, are generally subject to the same expenses as class A, class B,
class C and class M shares, but do not bear a distribution fee. Class Y
shares are sold to defined contribution plans that invest at least $150
million in a combination of Putnam Funds and other accounts managed by
affiliates of Putnam Investment Management, Inc. ("Putnam Management"),
the fund's manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Investments, Inc.

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 the 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 consistently
followed by the funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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.
Securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars
at the 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, H and I of Note 1 with respect to valuation of forward
currency contracts, futures and options contracts, TBA purchase
commitments and TBA sale commitments.

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 and certain other accounts managed by
Putnam Management. 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
its 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. Collateral
for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at the counterparty's
custodian in a segregated account for the benefit of the fund and the
counterparty. 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.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain
dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Discounts on zero coupon bonds, original
issue discount bonds, stepped-coupon bonds and payment in kind bonds are
accreted according to the yield-to-maturity basis. Any premium resulting
from the purchase of stepped-coupon securities in excess of maturity value
is amortized on a yield-to-maturity basis.

E) Foreign currency translation The accounting records of the funds are
maintained in U.S. dollars. The market value of foreign securities,
currency holdings, and other assets and liabilities are recorded in the
books and records of the funds after translation to U.S. dollars based on
the exchange rates 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 or 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 gains and losses are included with the net realized and
unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized gains and losses on
foreign currency transactions represent net realized 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 the fund's books and the U.S. dollar
equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation
and depreciation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies 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) 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 their
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 U.S. dollar value of forward currency contracts is determined using
current forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
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 funds could 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 the
funds are unable to enter into a closing position.

G) Futures and options contracts The funds may use futures and options
contracts to hedge against changes in the values of securities the funds
own or expect to purchase. The funds may also write options on securities
they own or in which it may invest to increase their 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. 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. Realized gains and
losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on
investment securities.

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) 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 1.0%
from the principal amount. The funds hold, and maintain until settlement
date, cash or high-grade debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet
the purchase price, or the funds may enter into offsetting contracts for
the forward sale of other securities they own. Income on the securities
will not be earned until settlement date. 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 the
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 it has entered into, the funds may dispose
of a commitment prior to settlement if Putnam Management deems it
appropriate to do so.

I) TBA sale commitments The funds may enter into TBA sale commitments to
hedge their portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities they
own under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments
are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a
TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or
an offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale
commitment date, are held as "cover" for the transaction.

Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market value of
the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described
under "Security valuation" above. The contract is "marked-to-market" daily
and the change in market value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized
gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition
of an offsetting purchase commitment, the funds realize a gain or loss. If
the fund delivers securities under the commitment, the fund realizes a
gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price
established at the date the commitment was entered into.

J) Line of credit The funds have entered into a committed line of credit
with certain banks. This line of credit agreement includes restrictions
that the funds maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 300% and
borrowings must not exceed prospectus limitations. For the six months
ended March 31, 1999, the funds had no borrowings against the line of
credit.

K) Federal taxes It is the policy of each fund to distribute all of their
taxable 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 the funds to distribute an amount
sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Therefore, no provision has
been made for federal taxes on income, capital gains or unrealized
appreciation on securities held nor for excise tax on income and capital
gains.

L) Distributions to shareholders Distributions to shareholders from net
investment income are recorded by the funds on the ex-dividend date.
Capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date
and paid at least annually. 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.
Reclassifications are made to each fund's capital accounts to reflect
income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss
carryovers) under income tax regulations.

M) Expenses 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.

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 funds.
Such fee is based on the following annual rates: 0.700% of the first $500
million of average net assets of each fund, 0.600% of the next $500
million, 0.550% of the next $500 million, 0.500% of the next $5 billion,
0.475% of the next $5 billion, 0.455% of the next $5 billion, 0.440% of
the next $5 billion and 0.430% thereafter.

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

Custodial functions for each fund's 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 six months ended March 31, 1999, fund expenses were reduced by
$140,797, $155,765, and $77,572 (for Growth Portfolio, Balance Portfolio,
and Conservative Portfolio, 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 expense offset arrangements in an
income producing asset if they had not entered into such arrangements.

Each Trustee of the trust receives an annual Trustee fee, of which $1,210,
$1,310, and $690 (for Growth Portfolio, Balance Portfolio, and
Conservative Portfolio, respectively) has been allocated to the funds, and
an additional fee for each Trustee's 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.

Each fund has adopted a Trustee Fee Deferral Plan (the "Deferral 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 certain Putnam funds until distribution
in accordance with the Deferral Plan.

Each fund has adopted an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension
plan (the "Pension Plan") covering all Trustees of the funds who have
served as Trustee for at least five years. Benefits under the Pension Plan
