  • SEC Fund Filings by CIK

  • Background:
    Founded in 1937 by George Putnam. Marsh & McLennan Companies purchased Putnam in 1970.

    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. on February 1, 2007. Great-West is owned by Canada's Power Financial which is controlled by the Desmarais family of Montreal.

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