Frequently asked questions
Who holds decision-making authority for investment strategy at F.L.Putnam?
Thomas F. Putnam founded the firm and remains chairman. The firm runs its own internal equity and fixed-income strategies — meaning in-house portfolio managers make direct security-selection decisions for public-markets allocations. For private-markets and alternative exposures, the firm selects and monitors external managers.
Does F.L.Putnam manage private equity or venture capital directly?
No. F.L.Putnam does not run direct private equity or venture funds. The firm accesses private equity, private credit, and real estate by selecting external managers on behalf of clients — functioning as an allocator in private markets rather than a direct sponsor.
What kind of clients does F.L.Putnam serve?
The firm works with high-net-worth individuals and families, plus institutional clients — primarily endowments and foundations — concentrated in the northeastern United States. The firm's Portland, Maine, location makes it a regional anchor for New England wealth, though its client base is not publicly disclosed in detail.
