Putnam's Product Development Heebie-Jeebies

Reported by Alfred Wang

What kind of investment vehicle launches can you expect from Putnam Investments in the near future? None, according to Larry Lasser, chief executive officer, who served on a panel at the 6th Annual Financial News Media Symposium, held at the University Club in New York City.
