Another milestone for Putnam
Putnam Investments has achieved another important milestone in the development of its business in the Australian market with a strong rating from van Eyk Research for its income fund.
The Putnam Worldwide Income Fund received an ‘A’ rating in van Eyk’s 2007 Fixed Income Macro Review.
The fund has also previously received ‘four stars’ from Standard & Poor’s and ‘recommended’ from ZenithInvestment Partners and is awaiting Morningstar’s rating.
The next step in Putnam’s plans in Australia is to work with platforms and dealer groups to achieve listings with both.
