They meet every bad stereotype of fund management. Very sales focused, very poor analytical skills, zero customer orientation. The scandal where the fund manager day-traded his own fund is typical behavior in that environment, not an aberration. Sure they are sorry now - but why bother with a company that has such a crappy history when there are others out there that charge less and do a better job with higher ethics and a longer, cleaner history of success? As soon as I left my old company (which used Putnam for their 401k management) I dumped them for a self-directed IRA. Then I just buy whatever funds or stock I feel like.
