Wyoming panel to discuss investments with Putnam

The Wyoming Retirement System, Cheyenne, will "review the situation" on Wednesday with Putnam, which runs $300 million in international equities for the $4.5 billion system, said Thomas Mann, director. System officials have been in contact with Putnam in light of the market-timing charges against the firm, Mr. Mann said, but "don't believe it's the time to panic." The system's investment committee will meet on Wednesday; any recommendations will be brought to the full board at its Nov. 21 meeting.
