About PRCCX

Putnam Convertible Securities Fund Class C is a mutual fund primarily focused on investing in convertible securities of U.S. companies. Convertible securities are unique financial instruments that blend characteristics of both bonds and stocks, providing investors with interest income while also offering the potential for equity-like appreciation. The fund’s main objective is to achieve capital preservation and growth by holding a diversified portfolio of these hybrid assets, which can convert into common stock under designated conditions. This fund plays a significant role in markets by offering exposure to sectors where companies frequently issue convertible bonds, such as technology, healthcare, and consumer industries. It is designed for investors seeking a balance of income generation and capital appreciation with lower volatility than pure equity investments. The fund distributes dividends quarterly and manages assets totaling over $600 million. By investing primarily in U.S. convertible bonds, the fund aims to provide a risk-adjusted return profile that can appeal to those who want diversification beyond traditional stock or bond funds while maintaining the flexibility to participate in the upside of underlying equities.
