  • SEC Fund Filings by CIK

  • Background:
    On January 1, 2024, Franklin Templeton bought Putnam from Great-West and entered a long-term strategic partnership with Great-West and Power.

    Putnam Investments is owned by Great-West Lifeco Inc, a unit of Canada's Power Financial. Power Financial is controlled by the Desmarais family of Montreal.

    History
    George Putnam founded the mutual fund firm in 1937. Marsh & McLennan Companies purchased Putnam in 1970.

    In 2007, Great-West Lifeco purchased Putnam Investments from Marsh.

    2003 Fund Scandals
    In the fall of 2003, Putnam was one of a number of firms accused of allowing market-timing trades by investors. That investigation led to the resignation of then-CEO Larry Lasser who was replaced by Ed Haldeman. Ultimately, the fallout from the accusations led to Marsh's sale of the company to Great-West Lifeco Inc.

    The Desmarais family hired Fidelity veteran Robert Reynolds in June 2008 to replace Haldeman as Putnam's CEO in 2008.

    In June, 2011 Putnam entered into a multiple-year marketing partnership with the Kraft Sports Group, owner of the New England Patriots, the New England Revolution and Gillette Stadium.

    In March 2014, Bob Reynolds was promoted to the position of president and chief executive of Great-West Lifeco U.S. Inc., the owner of both Putnam and the Denver based Great-West Financial. The position of president and chief executive officer of Great-West Financial was also his upon the retirement of Mitchell Graye in May, 2014.

    In April 2014, Great-West purchased the retirement business of JP Morgan Asset Management.
