Putnam Investments, one of the oldest mutual funds in America, wants to remind advisors, brokers and investors about the benefits of active management.
The firm has launched an "Always Active" marketing campaign that focuses on the need for advisors and investors to be "always actively engaged" with the marketplace and on Putnam's commitment to be "always active in its management, partnership and technology," says Mark McKenna, head of global marketing at the firm. The campaign includes content, approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, that advisors can share with their clients.
The campaign showcases the firm's active management capabilities to outperform market benchmarks and find opportunities in changing markets.
"This is a "sea change in our strategy, providing more real-time info to advisors," said McKenna, who noted that the firm's new headquarters at 100 Federal Street in Boston includes a TV studio with a newsroom-like set where the fund company can provide video content from its investment analysts and and portfolio managers.
