PUTNAM INVESTMENT FUNDS
MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

      This Management Contract is dated as of February 27, 2014
between PUTNAM INVESTMENT FUNDS, a Massachusetts business trust
(the Fund), and PUTNAM INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the Manager).

      In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained,
it is agreed as follows

1. 	SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY MANAGER TO FUND.

      (a) 	The Manager, at its expense, will furnish
continuously an investment program for the Fund or, in the case
 of a Fund that
has divided its shares into two or more series under Section
18(f)(2) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
1940 Act), each series of the Fund identified from time to time
on Schedule A to this Contract (each reference in this Contract
to a Fund or to the Fund is also deemed to be a reference to any
existing series of the Fund, as appropriate in the particular
context), will determine what investments will be purchased, held,
sold or exchanged by the Fund and what portion, if any, of the
assets of the Fund will be held uninvested and will, on behalf of
the Fund, make changes in such investments. Subject always to the
control of the Trustees of the Fund and except for the functions
carried out by the officers and personnel referred to in Section
1(d), the Manager will also manage, supervise and conduct the
other affairs and business of the Fund and matters incidental
thereto. In the performance of its duties, the Manager will
comply with the provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of
Trust and ByLaws of the Fund and the stated investment objectives,
policies and restrictions of the Fund, will use its best efforts
to safeguard and promote the welfare of the Fund and to comply
with other policies which the Trustees may from time to time
determine and will exercise the same care and diligence expected
of the Trustees.

      (b) 	The Manager, at its expense, except as such
 expense is
paid by the Fund as provided in Section 1(d), will furnish (1)
all necessary investment and management facilities, including
salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties
faithfully (2) suitable office space for the Fund and (3)
administrative facilities, including bookkeeping, clerical
personnel and equipment necessary for the efficient conduct of
the affairs of the Fund, including determination of the net asset
value of the Fund, but excluding shareholder accounting services.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 1(d), the Manager will
pay the compensation, if any, of the officers of the Fund.

      (c) 	The Manager, at its expense, will place all
 orders for
the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for the Funds
account with brokers or dealers selected by the Manager. In the
selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such
orders, the Manager will use its best efforts to obtain for the
Fund the most favorable price and execution available, except to
the extent it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage
commissions for brokerage and research services as described
below. In using its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most
favorable price and execution available, the Manager, bearing in
mind the Funds best interests at all times, will consider all
factors it deems relevant, including by way of illustration,
price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for
the security, the amount of the commission, the timing of the
transaction taking into account market prices and trends, the
reputation, experience and
financial stability of the broker or dealer involved and the
quality of service rendered by the broker or dealer in other
transactions. Subject to such policies as the Trustees of the
Fund may determine, the Manager will not be deemed to have acted
unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Contract
or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused the Fund to
pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research
services to the Manager an amount of commission for effecting a
portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction, if the Manager determines in good
faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation
to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by
such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular
transaction or the Managers overall responsibilities with respect
to the Fund and to other clients of the Manager as to which the
Manager exercises investment discretion. The Manager agrees that
in connection with purchases or sales of portfolio investments
for the Funds account, neither the Manager nor any officer,
director, employee or agent of the Manager shall act as a
principal or receive any commission other than as provided in
Section 3.

      (d) 	The Fund will pay or reimburse the Manager for the
compensation in whole or in part of such officers of the Fund and
persons assisting them as may be determined from time to time by
the Trustees of the Fund. The Fund will also pay or reimburse the
Manager for all or part of the cost of suitable office space,
utilities, support services and equipment attributable to such
officers and persons as may be determined in each case by the
Trustees of the Fund. The Fund will pay the fees, if any, of the
Trustees of the Fund.

      (e) 	The Manager will not be obligated to pay any
expenses
of or for the Fund not expressly assumed by the Manager pursuant
to this Section 1 other than as provided in Section 3.

      (f) 	Subject to the prior approval of a majority of the
Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not
interested persons and, to the extent required by the 1940 Act
and the rules and regulations under the 1940 Act, subject to any
applicable guidance or interpretation of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or its staff, by the shareholders of the Fund,
the Manager may, from time to time, delegate to a subadviser or
subadministrator any of the Managers duties under this Contract,
including the management of all or a portion of the assets being
managed. In all instances, however, the Manager must oversee the
provision of delegated services, the Manager must bear the
separate costs of employing any subadviser or subadministrator,
and no delegation will relieve the Manager of any of its
obligations under this Contract.

2. 	OTHER AGREEMENTS, ETC.

      It is understood that any of the shareholders, Trustees,
officers and employees of the Fund may be a shareholder, director,
officer or employee of, or be otherwise interested in, the
Manager, and in any person controlled by or under common control
with the Manager, and that the Manager and any person controlled
by or under common control with the Manager may have an interest
in the Fund. It is also understood that the Manager and any
person controlled by or under common control with the Manager may
have advisory, management, service or other contracts with other
organizations and persons and may have other interests and
business.

3. 	COMPENSATION TO BE PAID BY THE FUND TO THE MANAGER.

      The Fund will pay to the Manager as compensation for the
Managers services rendered, for the facilities furnished and for
the expenses borne by the Manager pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b),
and (c) of Section 1, a Base Fee, computed and paid monthly on
the Average Net Assets of the Fund at the annual rates set forth
on Schedule B attached to this Contract, as from time to time
amended, subject to adjustment as set forth on Schedule C
attached to this Contract, as from time to time amended. The
Funds Average Net Assets means the average of all of the
determinations of the Funds net asset value at the close of
business on each business day during each period for which such
computation is made. The Base Fee, as adjusted, is payable for
each month within 15 days after the close of the month.

      The fees payable by the Fund to the Manager pursuant to this
Section 3 will be reduced by any commissions, fees, brokerage or
similar payments received by the Manager or any affiliated person
of the Manager in connection with the purchase and sale of
portfolio investments of the Fund, less any direct expenses
approved by the Trustees incurred by the Manager or any
affiliated person of the Manager in connection with obtaining
such payments.

      In the event that expenses of the Fund for any fiscal year
exceed the expense limitation on investment company expenses
imposed by any statute or regulatory authority of any
jurisdiction in which shares of the Fund are qualified for offer
or sale, the compensation due the Manager for such fiscal year
will be reduced by the amount of excess by a reduction or refund
thereof. In the event that the expenses of the Fund exceed any
expense limitation which the Manager may, by written notice to
the Fund, voluntarily declare to be effective subject to such
terms and conditions as the Manager may prescribe in such notice,
the compensation due the Manager will be reduced, and if
necessary, the Manager will assume expenses of the Fund, to the
extent required by the terms and conditions of such expense
limitation.

      If the Manager serves for less than the whole of a month,
the foregoing compensation will be prorated.

4. 	ASSIGNMENT TERMINATES THIS CONTRACT AMENDMENTS OF THIS
CONTRACT.

      This Contract will automatically terminate, without the
payment of any penalty, in the event of its assignment, provided
that no delegation of responsibilities by the Manager pursuant to
Section 1(f) will be deemed to constitute an assignment. No
provision of this Contract may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by
the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought. No amendment of this Contract
is effective until approved in a manner consistent with the 1940
Act, the rules and regulations under the 1940 Act and any
applicable guidance or interpretation of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or its staff.

5. 	EFFECTIVE PERIOD AND TERMINATION OF THIS CONTRACT.

      This Contract is effective upon its execution and will
remain in full force and effect as to a Fund continuously
thereafter (unless terminated automatically as set forth in
Section 4 or terminated in accordance with the following
paragraph) through June 30, 2014, and will continue in effect
from year to year thereafter so long as its continuance is
approved at least annually by (i) the Trustees, or the
shareholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the respective Fund, and (ii) a majority of
the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund or of the
Manager, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on such approval.

      Either party hereto may at any time terminate this Contract
as to a Fund by not less than 60 days written notice delivered or
mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the other party.
Action with respect to a Fund may be taken either (i) by vote of
a majority of the Trustees or (ii) by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the outstanding shares of the respective Fund.

      Termination of this Contract pursuant to this Section 5 will
be without the payment of any penalty.

6. 	CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.

      For the purposes of this Contract, the affirmative vote of a
majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund means the
affirmative vote, at a duly called and held meeting of
shareholders of the respective Fund, (a) of the holders of 67% or
more of the shares of the Fund present (in person or by proxy)
and entitled to vote at the meeting, if the holders of more than
50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the
meeting are present in person or by proxy or (b) of the holders
of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled
to vote at the meeting, whichever is less.

      For the purposes of this Contract, the terms affiliated
person, control, interested person and assignment have their
respective meanings defined in the 1940 Act, subject, however, to
the rules and regulations under the 1940 Act and any applicable
guidance or interpretation of the Securities and Exchange
Commission or its staff the term approve at least annually will
be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the
rules and regulations under the 1940 Act and any applicable
guidance or interpretation of the Securities and Exchange
Commission or its staff and the term brokerage and research
services has the meaning given in the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and the rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and under any applicable guidance or interpretation
of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff.

7. 	NONLIABILITY OF MANAGER.

      In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence on the part of the Manager, or reckless disregard of
its obligations and duties hereunder, the Manager shall not be
subject to any liability to the Fund or to any shareholder of the
Fund for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with,
rendering services hereunder.

8. 	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF THE TRUSTEES, OFFICERS, AND
SHAREHOLDERS.

      A copy of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Fund
is on file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, and notice is hereby given that this instrument is
executed on behalf of the Trustees of the Fund as Trustees and
not individually and that the obligations of or arising out of
this instrument are not binding upon any of the Trustees,
officers or shareholders individually but are binding only upon
the assets and property of the respective Fund.

Total OpenEnd Mutual Fund Average Net Assets means the average of
all of the determinations of the aggregate net assets of all
openend funds sponsored by Putnam Management (excluding the net
assets of such funds investing in, or invested in by, other such
funds, such as Putnam RetirementReady Funds and Putnam Money
Market Liquidity Fund, to the extent necessary to avoid
doublecounting of such net assets) at the close of business on
each business day during each month while the Management Contract
is in effect.


















Schedule C
(as amended October 24, 2016)

Except for Putnam Growth Opportunities Fund (Growth Opportunities
Fund), the Funds Base Fee computed in accordance with Schedule B
will be adjusted, on a monthly basis, upward or downward, as the
case may be, by an amount computed by applying the Performance
Adjustment Rate to the Average Net Assets of the Fund for the
Performance Period and dividing the result by twelve.

For Growth Opportunities Fund, the Base Fee computed in
accordance with Schedule B will be adjusted, on a monthly basis,
upward or downward, as the case may be by an amount computed by
applying the Performance Adjustment Rate to the Combined Average
Net Assets of the Fund for the Performance Period and dividing
the result by twelve.  Combined Average Net Assets  means the
average of all of the determinations of (i) the sum of the net
asset value of each of Putnam Voyager Funds (Voyager Fund) and
the Fund at the close of business on each business day during any
portion of a Performance Period prior to the merger of Voyager
Fund into the Fund (the Merger Closing Date) and (ii) the Funds
net asset value at the close of business on each business day
during any portion of a Performance Period after the Merger
Closing Date.
Performance Period. The Performance Period is equal to the
shorter of (i) the period from January 1, 2010 to the end of the
month for which the fee adjustment is being computed or (ii) the
thirtysix month period then ended.

Performance Adjustment Rate. The Performance Adjustment Rate is
equal to the product of 0.03 multiplied by the difference,
positive or negative, obtained by subtracting (i) the Investment
Record of the Benchmark for the Performance Period from (ii) the
Investment Performance of the Measuring Class for the Performance
Period provided that the Performance Adjustment Rate for the Fund
may not exceed the Maximum Performance Adjustment Rate set forth
on Schedule B or be less than the Minimum Performance Adjustment
Rate set forth on Schedule B.

Investment Performance and Investment Record. These terms are
used as defined in Rule 2051 under the Investment Advisers Act of
1940, as amended, and shall each be computed on an annualized
basis for any Performance Period greater than one year.

Benchmark. The Funds initial Benchmark is set forth in Schedule B.
If the Trustees determine that another appropriate index of
securities prices should be substituted as the Benchmark, the
Trustees may determine, with the consent of the Manager, to use
such other appropriate index of securities prices for purposes of
this Schedule C (the Replacement Benchmark) without shareholder
approval, unless shareholder approval of the change is otherwise
required by applicable law. Any Replacement Benchmark will be
applied prospectively to determine the amount of the Performance
Adjustment. The Benchmark will continue to be used to determine
the amount of the Performance Adjustment for that part of the
Performance Period prior to the effective date of the Replacement
Benchmark.

Measuring Class. Except for Growth Opportunities Fund with
respect to periods prior to the Merger Closing Date, the
Measuring Class of shares of the Fund initially is Class A shares
of the Fund. If the Trustees determine that a different class of
shares of the Fund is the most appropriate for use in calculating
the Performance Adjustment, the Trustees may change, with the
consent of the Manager, the class of shares used as the Measuring
Class without shareholder approval, unless shareholder approval
of such change is otherwise required by applicable law. If a
different class of shares (Replacement Measuring Class) is
substituted in calculating the Performance Adjustment, the use of
that Replacement Measuring Class of shares for purposes of
calculating the Performance Adjustment may apply to the entire
Performance Period so long as the Replacement Measuring Class was
outstanding at the beginning of such period. If the Replacement
Measuring Class of shares was not outstanding for all or a
portion of the Performance Period, it may only be used in
calculating that portion of the Performance Adjustment
attributable to the period during which the Replacement Measuring
Class was outstanding and any previous portion of the Performance
Period will be calculated using the Measuring Class. For Growth
Opportunities Fund with respect to periods prior to the Merger
Closing Date, the Measuring Class is either Class A shares of
Voyager Fund or Class A shares of Growth Opportunities Fund,
whichever has the lower performance over the relevant period.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Schedule C, the
computation of the Performance Adjustment Rate, the Investment
Performance of the Measuring Class and the Investment Record of
the Benchmark will be made in accordance with the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and any applicable rules
thereunder.
